Our plumbing specialists offer a same day central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks originate from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system. The single most likely cause of a swimming pool leak is broken pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include deteriorated filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Certified divers offer a SPATA registered swimming pool leak detection service to identify the location of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water supply line. The single most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become defective. Our technicians perform a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We locate underground water leaks by firstly evaluating which pipes are under the ground. Our non invasive leak detection system is used to find the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks often occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include degraded pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers locate leaks on underfloor 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, poor construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find 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 range from slow water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry develops where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly skilled roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks come from hidden pipework behind walls, beneath 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 discover leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-destructive leak detection equipment. Eliminate further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks develop on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, damaged seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV investigations inside the pipe. Our drainage specialist provide a comprehensive inspection to find the cause of the leak and are often able to perform a repair on the same day.
