Our plumbing technicians provide a immediate central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system. The single most frequent cause of a swimming pool leak is split pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include worn filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Trained divers deliver a SPATA recognised swimming pool leak detection service to pinpoint the location of swimming pool leaks
Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a sign of a leaking water supply line. The single most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply pipe is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become faulty. Our engineers do a water meter leak test to verify whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks originate 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 locate underground water leaks by firstly evaluating which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection process is used to pinpoint the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks often happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include worn pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor 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, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection techniques including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from minor water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry develops where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, incorrect construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Find the source of your roof leak by choosing our extremely skilled roof leak investigation experts.
Shower and bathroom leaks stem from hidden pipework inside walls, below 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 engineers detect leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non invasive leak detection equipment. Avoid further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include damaged pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A Drainage system is not pressurized so leak detection approaches are limited to CCTV surveys inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage engineer carries out a detailed inspection to detect the cause of the leak and is often able to perform a repair on the same day.
