Central heating heating leaks are typically hidden underneath floors, within walls or cavities. A boiler losing water water pressure is the single most probable symptom of a leaking central heating system, more symptoms include water damage or needing to constantly bleed radiators. Our engineers detect the location of heating leaks, whatever the cause or location of the leak using non-destructive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing technicians deliver a rapid 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 cracked pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include deteriorated filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Trained divers provide a SPATA approved swimming pool leak detection service to identify the source of swimming pool leaks
Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a warning of a leaking water mains. The single most common location of a water main leak is outside where the water mains is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become damaged. Our engineers do a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We find underground water leaks by firstly determining which pipes are below the ground. Our non invasive leak detection system is used to find the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks regularly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include degraded pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our engineers detect leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection approaches including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration occurs where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, incorrect construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Identify the source of your roof leak by choosing our extremely professional roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks develop from hidden pipework behind walls, below 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 professionals detect leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non invasive leak detection equipment. Eliminate further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks appear 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 under pressure so leak detection approaches are limited to CCTV inspections inside the pipe. Our drainage expert provide a full inspection to find the cause of the leak and are typically able to carry out a repair on the same day.
