Boiler Leaks

Pool Leaks

Swimming pool leaks originate from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system. The most typical cause of a swimming pool leak is split pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include deteriorated filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Trained divers supply a SPATA recognised swimming pool leak detection service to locate the location of swimming pool leaks

Water Mains Leaks

Water mains leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The most frequent location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become damaged. Our engineers conduct a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.

Underground Water Leaks

Underground water leaks come from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We identify underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection approach is used to find the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.

Underfloor Heating Leaks

Under floor 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, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our experts identify leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.

Building Structure Leaks

Building leaks occur in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection techniques including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.

Tile Leaks

Roof leaks vary from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion occurs where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, poor construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Identify the source of your roof leak by choosing our extremely qualified roof leak investigation team.

Shower Leaks

Shower and bathroom leaks arise from hidden pipework inside walls, beneath 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 specialists find leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-destructive leak detection equipment. Stop further water damage to your property!

Drain Leaks

Drainage Leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include fractured pipes, deteriorated 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 inspections inside the drain pipe. Our drainage specialist provide a comprehensive inspection to locate the cause of the leak and are generally able to carry out a repair on the same day.

FAQ - Leak Detection in Watford

Do you guarantee you'll find my leak?

No leak detection company can guarantee finding every leak. Though, we deliver a No-find-No-fee service for water mains leaks on individual properties where the pipes are under 30 meters long and losing above 30 L per hour.

Will leak detection damage my property?

No.. Our non destructive leak detection methods will not damage your property. Occasionally, we may need to drill a minimal 5mm hole into a cavity for camera access. No matter where the leak's location, limited damage might be required to access and repair it.

Will you disconnect the water throughout leak detection?

We normally won't need to turn off your water supply during leak investigations. However, we may need to turn off the stopcock for a brief period when completing repairs.

How long does leak detection take ?

Leak detection usually takes from a few hours to a full day or more. The time necessary to pinpoint the leak source depends on the type of leak, its location, and the complexity of the investigation.

Will you mend my leak?

Yes. We will repair plumbing leaks on the same day as detection, if our engineer has available time after pinpointing the leak. Repair charges apply as an extra.

Can you help with my insurance claim?

Yes. We produce insurance-approved reports for claim purposes. If your home insurance contains "Trace and Access" protection, you can recover the leak detection costs.
