Leak Detection
Our leak detection service utilises acoustic sensors, tracer gas, and thermal imaging to pinpoint internal and external water leaks with precision. We specialise in resolving complex issues in residential and commercial properties, ensuring minimal disruption through non-invasive techniques. With over 35 years of expertise, we provide reliable diagnostics and repairs for central heating systems, main supply pipes, and hidden leaks.
Trace & Access
Trace & access involves identifying hidden leaks in walls, floors, or external pipework using advanced acoustic and thermal technology. We offer full reinstatement services post-repair, restoring properties to their original condition. Our team handles urgent cases, including emergency leaks in listed buildings, with a focus on transparency and customer communication throughout the process.
Lead Pipe Replacement
We provide full lead pipe replacement programs for properties with outdated water supply systems. Our service includes replacing pipes up to the property boundary, ensuring compliance with modern safety standards. The process is conducted with minimal disruption, and we coordinate with water authorities for seamless connections to mains supply.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging detects temperature anomalies caused by water leaks in building structures. This non-destructive method identifies hidden moisture in walls, floors, or ceilings, preventing unnecessary drilling or excavation. We use high-resolution cameras to map pipe layouts and locate leaks efficiently, particularly in complex or historic properties.
Tracer Gas Testing
Tracer gas testing introduces a safe hydrogen-nitrogen mixture into water pipes to locate non-pressurised or silent leaks. The gas escapes at the leak point and is detected at the surface, ideal for central heating systems, boilers, and underground pipes. This method ensures accurate diagnosis without damaging property structures.
