Central heating heating leaks are frequently buried beneath floors, within walls or cavities. A boiler dropping pressure is the most likely sign of a leaking central heating system, other clues include water damage or needing to often bleed radiators.

Our plumbing technicians deliver a rapid central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system. The single most frequent cause of a swimming pool leak is cracked pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include deteriorated filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Accredited divers supply a SPATA certified swimming pool leak detection service to identify the cause of swimming pool leaks
Water mains leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a symptom of a leaking water main. The most likely location of a water main leak is outside where the water mains is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become worn. Our technicians conduct a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We find underground water leaks by initially establishing which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection process is used to pinpoint the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks often arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our professionals locate leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection approaches including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from slight water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration appears where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, insufficient maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Identify the source of your roof leak by choosing our very skilled roof leak investigation specialists.
Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework behind walls, under 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 detect leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-destructive leak detection equipment. Prevent further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks appear 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 under pressure so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drain pipe. Our drainage engineers offers a comprehensive inspection to find the cause of the leak and are typically able to carry out a repair on the same day.
