Central heating heating leaks are commonly buried underneath floors, inside walls or cavities. A boiler losing water pressure is the single most common symptom of a leaking central heating system, more symptoms include water damage or having to frequently bleed radiators. Our engineers locate the cause of heating leaks, regardless of the cause or location of the leak using non destructive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing engineers deliver a immediate central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks originate from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system. The single most likely cause of a swimming pool leak is cracked pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include defective filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Accredited divers deliver a SPATA recognised swimming pool leak detection service to detect the location of swimming pool leaks
Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a warning of a leaking water mains. The single most frequent location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply line is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become defective. Our experts complete a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We find underground water leaks by first assessing which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection method is used to trace the location 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 underfloor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our technicians find leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks develop in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or neglected 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 span from slight water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion develops where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our very skilled roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks arise from hidden pipework within walls, under 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 technicians locate 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 appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include fractured pipes, deteriorated seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not under pressure so leak detection approaches are limited to CCTV inspections inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage expert delivers a detailed inspection to identify the cause of the leak and is usually able to carry out a repair on the same day.
