Central heating heating leaks are usually buried below floors, inside walls or cavities. A boiler dropping pressure is the single most probable signal of a leaking central heating system, additional symptoms include water damage or needing to repeatedly bleed radiators. Our technicians discover the source of heating leaks, irrespective of the cause or location of the leak using non-destructive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing professionals deliver a fast central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system. The single most probable 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 Accredited divers offer a SPATA accredited swimming pool leak detection service to discover the location of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a signal of a leaking water main. The single most likely location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become compromised. Our engineers carry out a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We discover underground water leaks by first determining which pipes are under the ground. Our non invasive leak detection process is used to track the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks often occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our professionals find 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, faulty construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection systems including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry develops where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Identify the source of your roof leak by choosing our extremely skilled roof leak investigation experts.
Shower and bathroom leaks develop from hidden pipework within walls, under the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include damaged fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection engineers detect leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-invasive leak detection equipment. Stop further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks develop on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include split pipes, deteriorated 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 inspections inside the drain pipe. Our drainage technician offers a comprehensive inspection to detect the cause of the leak and is typically able to carry out a repair on the same day.
