Our plumbing professionals 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 most probable cause of a swimming pool leak is fractured pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, more causes include deteriorated filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Qualified divers provide a SPATA registered swimming pool leak detection service to find the cause of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The single most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply line is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become compromised. Our experts perform a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We detect underground water leaks by first evaluating which pipes are below the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection system is used to identify the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks often occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our engineers identify 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 settlement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection technologies including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion develops where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, poor construction, insufficient maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our exceptionally qualified roof leak investigation specialists.
Shower and bathroom leaks stem from hidden pipework behind 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 detect leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non destructive leak detection equipment. Prevent further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not pressurized so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV assessments inside the drain pipe. Our drainage engineer delivers a detailed inspection to find the cause of the leak and is generally able to complete a repair on the same day.
