Central Heating Leaks

Central heating heating leaks are typically located under floors, within walls or cavities. A boiler dropping water pressure is the single most likely symptom of a leaking central heating system, additional signs include water damage or having to often bleed radiators. Our specialists discover the origin of heating leaks, no matter the cause or location of the leak using non-destructive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing engineers offer a fast central heating leak repair service.

Swimming Pool Leaks

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 damaged 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 supply a SPATA certified swimming pool leak detection service to locate the cause of swimming pool leaks

Water Mains Leaks

Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become faulty. Our specialists conduct a water meter leak test to verify whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to find the leak.

Below Ground Water Leaks

Underground water leaks come from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We detect underground water leaks by first determining which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection approach is used to locate the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.

Underfloor Heating Leaks

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 worn pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our technicians find leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.

Building Leaks

Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection systems including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.

Tile Leaks

Roof leaks span from slow water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration develops where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our exceptionally skilled roof leak investigation experts.

Bathroom Leaks

Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework behind walls, underneath 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 professionals identify 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!

Drain Leaks

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 under pressure so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV examinations inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage specialist provides a detailed inspection to identify the cause of the leak and is often able to undertake a repair on the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions - Leak Detection in Southend-on-Sea

Do you guarantee you will find my leak?

Will leak detection damage my property?

No. Our non destructive leak detection methods do not damage your property. Occasionally, we may need to drill a tiny 5mm hole into a cavity for camera access. Whatever the leak's location, minimal damage may be needed to access and repair it.

We generally won't need to isolate your water supply during leak investigations. That said, we may need to isolate the stopcock temporarily when conducting repairs.

How long does leak detection take ?

Leak detection generally takes anywhere from a couple of hours and a full day or more. The time taken to identify the leak source depends on the type of leak, its location, and the complexity of the investigation.

Can you assist with my insurance claim?
