Central heating heating leaks are often located beneath floors, inside walls or cavities. A boiler losing water water pressure is the most common indicator of a leaking central heating system, additional signs include water damage or having to constantly bleed radiators. Our engineers discover the origin of heating leaks, irrespective of the cause or location of the leak using non-invasive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing engineers supply a same day central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system. The most frequent cause of a swimming pool leak is broken pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include faulty filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Certified divers provide a SPATA accredited swimming pool leak detection service to detect the location of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a signal of a leaking water main. The most typical location of a water mains leak is outside where the water mains is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become faulty. Our engineers do a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We find underground water leaks by initially establishing which pipes are below the ground. Our non destructive leak detection technique is used to track the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks regularly develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our technicians pinpoint leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection technologies including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from slow water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion develops where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, insufficient maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our very expert roof leak investigation team.
Shower and bathroom leaks stem from hidden pipework behind walls, underneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include worn out fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection technicians discover leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-invasive leak detection equipment. Prevent further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include split pipes, worn seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV examinations inside the pipe. Our drainage specialist provides a full inspection to identify the cause of the leak and are generally able to perform a repair on the same day.
