Immediately come to your property to sort the problem out. Very knowledgeable and efficient.
From the first enquiry I felt I was being listened to and that I was dealing with a very proffessional company. I was given a date and time for a fitter (Dylan) to attend who subsequently did a first class job. He was neat and tidy and put the old cooker outside for me ready for collection.
I cannot recomend this company enough. From start to finish I was kept informed along the way which is so important. Well done guys, your number is in my contact list as ill definitly call on you, if needed in the future. 🙂

Types Of Leaks
Properties in Maldon are susceptible to various plumbing and water supply leaks that would need leak detection services as these leaks are often hidden from view and difficult to pinpoint. The types of leaks typically found in residential properties include:
Pipe Leaks
Pipe leaks are common in older properties where the piping system may have deteriorated over time. This can include reachable piping and pipes hidden within walls or under floors.
Central Heating Systems
Central heating systems can spring leaks due to corrosion or failed components like valves, pumps or pipe connections.
Underground Leaks
These can occur in the water supply pipe between the street and the house. Such leaks are often invisible and can go undetected for a long time, causing significant water loss.
Leaking Radiators
In homes with central heating systems using radiators, leaks can occur due to corrosion, valve failure, or problems with the connecting pipes.
Appliance Pipes
Pipes that supply appliances that use water can develop leaks. These pipes are often hidden from view behind kitchen cabinets.
Roof Leaks
While not directly related to Plumbing, roof leaks can lead to water entering the property, especially in older homes or those with damaged roofing materials.
A Specific Approach To Leaks
Each type of leak requires a specific approach for detection and repair.
For example, pipe leaks within walls may require thermal imaging or a leak detection machine. In contrast, simpler leaks within the Plumbing or central heating system might be more straightforward to spot visually.
Our Experienced plumbers often start with a visual inspection to spot obvious signs of leaks, such as water stains, mould, or damaged flooring and walls and will inspect nearby water pipes.
They may use thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature variations in walls and floors for hidden leaks, indicating potential moisture presence.
Pressure testing is another technique for pressuring the water system, and the plumber looks for pressure drops to identify leaks.
Leak detection machines that use sound waves to detect the sound of escaping water are employed. These advanced tools are handy for underground or concealed leaks, allowing plumbers to pinpoint the leak’s location accurately without removing walls or floorboards.
This combination of methods ensures a comprehensive approach to finding leaks quickly and efficiently. Once the source of the leak has been spotted, we will quote you the repair cost.
