Leak Detection in Scunthorpe

A hidden leak can cause serious and expensive damage to your property long before it becomes visible. Rising damp, unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when no taps are on, or a persistent drop in boiler pressure — these are all signs that you may have a leak that needs to be found and fixed promptly.

Types of Leak We Detect and Repair

• Hidden water supply pipe leaks — underground and within walls
• Central heating system leaks — pipework, radiators, and joints
• Underfloor heating pipe leaks
• Boiler internal leaks — heat exchanger, seals, and connections
• Gas pipe leaks — trace and make safe (Gas Safe registered)
• Bathroom and kitchen waste pipe leaks
• Burst pipes within walls, floors, and ceilings

How We Find Leaks

We begin with a thorough inspection and pressure test to confirm a leak is present and identify the approximate area. Where the leak cannot be located visually, we use thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature differences caused by escaping water — this allows us to pinpoint the leak without unnecessary damage to your property.

• Visual inspection and pressure testing
• Thermal imaging camera survey
• Electronic gas detection equipment
• Acoustic leak detection for underground pipes
• Dye testing for waste and drain leaks
