Central heating heating leaks are frequently buried under floors, behind walls or cavities. A boiler losing water pressure is the most common indicator of a leaking central heating system, additional clues include water damage or having to regularly bleed radiators. Our engineers find the source of heating leaks, irrespective of the cause or location of the leak using non destructive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing experts offer a same day central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks come from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system. The single most typical cause of a swimming pool leak is broken pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, more causes include faulty filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Qualified divers offer a SPATA certified swimming pool leak detection service to pinpoint the source of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a sign of a leaking water supply line. The single most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become worn. Our technicians perform a water meter leak test to confirm if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection approach is used to find the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks frequently occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our technicians pinpoint 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 settlement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection approaches including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from slow water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion occurs where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Pinpoint the source of your roof leak by choosing our exceptionally professional roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks stem from hidden pipework within walls, under the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include worn out fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection engineers locate 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 arise on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include damaged pipes, broken seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurized so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV assessments inside the drain pipe. Our drainage expert provides a comprehensive inspection to identify the cause of the leak and is often able to carry out a repair on the same day.
