As a specialist central heating leak detection company we have a nationwide network of plumbing and heating leak specialists ready to assist you.
Our engineers carry a complete range of specialist leak detection equipment and years of expertise when it comes to finding hidden water leaks.
Utilizing tracer gases offers a non-intrusive approach to identifying leaks within central heating systems. The process commences by draining the heating system and introducing a completely safe and non-toxic gas blend into the pipelines.
Subsequently, a highly sensitive probe is systematically maneuvered along the network of pipework spanning the entire property. As the gas escapes through any existing cracks, it triggers the probe, enabling precise pinpointing of the leak's location.
It's worth noting that the minute particles of this gas have the capacity to permeate various materials, including wood, carpet, tiles, and even concrete. This means that we can employ this method for leak detection without causing any disruption or harm to your home's infrastructure.
We employ thermal imaging as one of our methods for locating central heating leaks.
The use of advanced thermal cameras that visualize the heat emissions from pipes, enables us to identify the concealed paths of central heating pipes beneath floors and within wall cavities.
Capturing temperature anomalies caused by water leaks, the thermal imaging camera can pinpoint the source of the issue.
Thermal Imaging Cameras are are used in conjunction with other leak detection methods, equipping our engineers with precise knowledge of the concealed pipe network throughout your home, streamlining the search process for leaks.
An acoustic microphone is an exceptionally sensitive apparatus designed to capture the sound produced by a leaking pipe, as all water leaks, regardless of their size, generate noise.
Our advanced acoustic listening devices have the capability to not only detect but also amplify these sounds, providing our engineers with the means to identify leaks.
This technique proves particularly valuable when dealing with pipes located deep beneath floors or concealed within insulated walls.
Moisture meters are instrumental in assessing the moisture levels on various surfaces.
Our skilled engineers will conduct multiple readings in areas where central heating pipes are routed throughout your property, including around the boiler, to identify spots with elevated moisture levels, which can help locate the water leak source.
Heightened moisture readings are indicative of potential central heating leaks in proximity. Occasionally, for materials that are challenging to assess, we may need to make a minor incision to obtain more precise readings within the surface. While this approach may not be entirely non-invasive, it results in minimal damage.
Borescopes are specialized inspection tools equipped with a flexible tube, a light source, and a camera on the tip.
The Lens of the Endoscope Camera transmits high-definition images and real-time videos, allowing the operator to examine concealed or hard-to-reach areas such as the interiors of walls, floors, and other confined spaces for indications of water leaks.
When there's no existing access point, this method may necessitate drilling a small hole in the area that requires inspection. However, since the borescope's diameter is typically no larger than 6mm, the drilled hole remains very small and can be easily repaired, leaving no visible trace of its presence.
Virtually all building insurance policies cover ‘Trace and Access’ for central heating leaks – so our leak detection charge will usually be refunded to you.
We know better than anyone that being in a home with a leak, no heating, and no hot water is stressful enough; so we’ll make sure you’re helped with every step – we’ll even ensure youare provided with insurance approved reports to assist with your home insurance claim.
There’s a range of Central Heating leak sealants that claim to offer a quick solution to finding and fixing a leak in a pressurised system – but be warned; they’re never as effective as physically dealing with the problem.
The issue is, leak seal is not an exact science. It may partially fix the leak – but it also might attach to rust and corrosion to cause further problems. There are instances where sealant has led to bigger issues needing repairs elsewhere in the system.
Don’t be tempted by a sticky-plaster approach to a problem that can cause serious damage to your property.
If you think there’s a leak in your central heating system, acting fast is the key to keeping your costs down.
