Our plumbing experts deliver a same day central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks originate from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system. The single most frequent cause of a swimming pool leak is fractured pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include loose filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure.

Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a symptom of a leaking water mains. The most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become defective. Our engineers carry out a water meter leak test to verify whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We identify underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection system is used to find the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our experts locate leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection technologies including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from slow water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress appears where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage leaks develop on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include fractured pipes, damaged 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 pipe.
