Central heating heating leaks are usually located underneath floors, behind walls or cavities. A boiler losing water pressure is the single most probable signal of a leaking central heating system, further warnings include water damage or needing to constantly bleed radiators. Our engineers identify the source of heating leaks, irrespective of the cause or location of the leak using non-destructive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing professionals offer a fast central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks originate from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system. The single most common cause of a swimming pool leak is fractured pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, more causes include defective filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Trained divers offer a SPATA accredited swimming pool leak detection service to pinpoint the location of swimming pool leaks
Water mains leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a sign of a leaking water mains. The most likely location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply line is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become damaged. Our professionals conduct a water meter leak test to establish whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains pipes, 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 firstly identifying which pipes are below the ground. Our non destructive leak detection process is used to trace the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks frequently develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our engineers discover leaks on under floor 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 settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection technologies including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress develops where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, incorrect construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly qualified roof leak investigation technicians.

Drainage Leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, damaged seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement.
