Our plumbing experts give 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 frequent cause of a swimming pool leak is damaged pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include faulty filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure.

Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a sign of a leaking water mains. The most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become faulty. Our engineers perform a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We detect underground water leaks by initially assessing which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection technique is used to find the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks commonly develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include worn pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our technicians identify leaks on underfloor 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, defective construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection systems including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from minor water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress develops where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, poor construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly qualified roof leak investigation experts.
Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework inside walls, beneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include worn 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. Stop further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks arise on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, broken seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not pressurized so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drainpipe. Our drainage technician provides a detailed inspection to detect the cause of the leak and is normally able to carry out a repair on the same day.
