Our plumbing experts offer a same-day central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system. The single most likely cause of a swimming pool leak is split pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, more causes include defective filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Certified divers provide a SPATA accredited swimming pool leak detection service to identify the source of swimming pool leaks
Water supply leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a signal of a leaking water main. The single most frequent location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply pipe is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become defective. Our experts perform a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
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 find underground water leaks by initially evaluating which pipes are under the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection method is used to pinpoint the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks commonly occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, faulty 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 arise in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection methods including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from slight water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration appears where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, incorrect construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Discover the source of your roof leak by choosing our very expert roof leak investigation professionals.
Shower and bathroom leaks develop from hidden pipework inside walls, beneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include degraded fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection engineers 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 appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, broken seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not pressurised so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drainpipe. Our drainage expert provides a detailed inspection to find the cause of the leak and is usually able to execute a repair on the same day.
