Central heating heating leaks are often buried beneath floors, behind walls or cavities. A boiler dropping water pressure is the most frequent indicator of a leaking central heating system, further warnings include water damage or having to regularly bleed radiators.

Our plumbing technicians deliver a immediate central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system. The most frequent cause of a swimming pool leak is fractured pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, more causes include loose filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Certified divers provide a SPATA registered swimming pool leak detection service to locate the cause of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a indicator of a leaking water mains. The single most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply line is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become defective. Our engineers conduct a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We find underground water leaks by initially determining which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection process is used to find the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks typically occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our experts detect leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection approaches including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from minor water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion occurs where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, poor construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Pinpoint the source of your roof leak by choosing our extremely expert roof leak investigation professionals.
Shower and bathroom leaks develop from hidden pipework behind walls, beneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include deteriorated fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection specialists detect leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non destructive leak detection equipment. Avoid further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks arise on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV surveys inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage technician delivers a thorough inspection to pinpoint the cause of the leak and is generally able to complete a repair on the same day.
