If you have a leak no matter how small and you can't see or find it please contact us for free advise on what you can do. Typical problems are combination/system boiler loosing pressure, central heating and cold water mains pipes buried in concrete floors leaking water and damp patches on floors. We are experienced, flexible, Insurance approved and we constantly invest in the best technology and we cover mainland UK. Our engineers are Corgi registered so we are able to repair boilers that have developed faults due to constantly loosing water due to leakage. Homes, Schools, Factories and commercial properties - No job too small

Modern visual leak detection goes well beyond simply looking for damp patches; thermal imaging, endoscopes and Acoustic technology and bit of Leakbusters magic all enable our team to find hidden leaks that cannot be found using traditional methods

Industries like security, military, medicine and film have pushed visual technology to incredible heights over the last decade, enabling us to literally see through walls without putting so much as a scratch on them. In addition to detecting problems in typical premises, we also have a dive team who can carry out detection tests under inland waters such as reservoirs or storage tanks.

Seesnake Camera Surveys
Use of equipment like CCTV and endoscopes makes it possible for us to see in places the human head simply cannot fit! Cameras get smaller and more versatile every year enabling us to get a clear view through the tiniest or most inaccessible gap. Seesnake video

Thermal Imaging

An incredibly useful tool that sees heat and represents different temperatures with different colours on the screen, often seen on TV in use by police helicopters following a suspect at night, we use a highly sensitive version of the same camera which can detect 0.02 degree variation in temperature. So we can literally look through your walls and floors and the pipes themselves to see where water is leaking away or blocked up. Heat loss and damp detection A secondary use of the thermal imaging camera is to check the exterior of your house for major losses of heat or potential damp problems. Windows, walls, doors, fascia boards and roofing are all essentials for keeping heat inside your building and the thermal imager can highlight the biggest areas of heat loss and detect damp long before it affects your interior d‚cor. Fixing these faults can have an incredibly beneficial effect on your heating bills making the service highly cost effective and an environmentally sound move in reducing your energy consumption.

Acoustic Leak Detection

Sound offers a number of non-destructive ways of detecting different types of leaks; from using technology to listen for problems through to the latest in ultrasonic systems. Used alone or in conjunction with other methods the systems we use offer incredible detecting accuracy without destructive work on walls or floors; the level of accuracy also makes repairs quick and minimal.


Correlation

This is an electronic sound testing device that takes readings from the water supply pipe by acoustic testing and locates any defects that may be present. It is accurate to within a minimum of 96%. This unit is normally used for detection of water main leaks and removes traditionally destructive plumbing detection methods such as excavating pipes.

Sound testing

This is an acoustic sound device that allows us to find leaks by locating the loudest point of the noise; this would normally be used to confirm one of the other tests. Highly sensitive microphones can pick up the sound of an eye blinking, tap dripping or gas hissing from a leak and report it to the device.

Ultrasonic

This is a method of ground radar, similar to a baby scan, that bears close resemblance to what we are able to see in your floor. It will expose all cavity and construction defaults within the scanned area, even allowing us to detect and trace pipe, cable and any other items located underground. The main purpose for this type of equipment is to locate and map services within the flooring.

Leak Fact

The damage suffered as a result of leaking pipes should not be underestimated - a 0.5mm leak could lose 20 litres of water every hour. Even if a leaking pipe is noticed, the cost and disruption associated with locating the source could be considerable. Too often walls and floors are unnecessarily damaged and there are no guarantees that the leak will be found.


LEGAL BIT

Whilst we take every care to fulfil our work properly, we are unable to conclusively guarantee the accuracy of our tracing or detection services.

Thus we cannot take responsibility for any costs or loss caused by misleading results.Likewise we cannot be held liable for any damage howsoever caused following any action or inaction based on our results
