Our plumbing experts deliver a immediate central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system. The most probable cause of a swimming pool leak is fractured pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include faulty filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Accredited divers offer a SPATA accredited swimming pool leak detection service to find the location of swimming pool leaks
Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water main. The single most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become damaged. Our professionals carry out a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by initially evaluating which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection system is used to find the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks commonly arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include worn pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our experts locate leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection approaches 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 ingress appears where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, worn 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. Identify the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly qualified roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks arise from hidden pipework inside walls, below 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 experts pinpoint 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 develop on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, damaged seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A Drainage system is not under pressure so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV examinations inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage technician delivers a full inspection to find the cause of the leak and is often able to complete a repair on the same day.
