Central heating heating leaks are usually buried beneath floors, within walls or cavities. A boiler losing water pressure is the single most probable signal of a leaking central heating system, additional warnings include water damage or needing to repeatedly bleed radiators. Our experts discover the cause of heating leaks, regardless of the cause or location of the leak using non-invasive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing experts offer a fast central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks come from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system. The most probable cause of a swimming pool leak is split pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, more causes include faulty filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Accredited divers provide a SPATA recognised swimming pool leak detection service to locate the cause of swimming pool leaks
Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a symptom of a leaking water supply line. The single most frequent location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply pipe is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become faulty. Our experts complete a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We detect underground water leaks by initially evaluating which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection method is used to trace the origin 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 underfloor heating circuits include corroded pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our engineers identify leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks develop in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify 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 span from slight water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress happens where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, insufficient maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Locate the source of your roof leak by choosing our very professional 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 damaged fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection specialists discover 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 appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include fractured pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not under pressure so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV surveys inside the pipe. Our drainage technician delivers a complete inspection to detect the cause of the leak and is typically able to undertake a repair on the same day.
