Leak Detection Company Hampshire

Yes we can! However, we may need to carry out minor Leak Detection excavation works to expose it before we repair it.

To avoid further problems arising, the area must be dried once the leak has been repaired. Moisture generally traps itself within surfaces even if you can’t physically see it. If the property has not been dried after a leak, mould and further damage will appear in the décor of your building. This will also cause health implications when mould is taken in via the lungs, which can seriously cause issues to your health.

There are several ways of testing this, one of which is to turn off the stop cock for the water feed running into your property. Check to see if the meter gauge is still running then this is a clear indication here is a suspected leak on your side of the property. The stop cock is either located underneath your kitchen sink or alternatively under your stair cupboard. Another form of leak detection is to look out for sudden damp patches appearing in certain sections of your property.

Unfortunately, with some leaks you can’t prevent all damage, however, we can take certain steps to reduce the amount of damage that will be caused by the leak. The first step in minimising damage is to turn off your water supply to the house. Try to turn your boiler off, this will stop damage if the boiler pipework runs dry. If possible, start to dry any standing water, you could use a mop if there isn’t a lot of water or maybe some towels.

This could be a sign of a leak on the central heating system or a problem with the boiler.

The ground source heating systems are a very efficient and environmentally friendly way of collecting heat, but when they go wrong, they go terribly wrong. Unfortunately, because of the amount of piping buried under the floor they can become very susceptible to leaks, which can be extremely difficult to locate within the floor surface.

We have helped various customers locate leaks in these systems with enormous success.

This is a service we offer. It includes all the aspects of “Trace and Access”, but also includes fixing the leak which will often only take a day to complete. Trace and access is an insurance term for non-destructively tracing the area of the leak and then exposing the leak i.e. excavating concrete or removing floorboards.

The chances are you may be covered for this under your home or buildings insurance policy but you will have to check your policy wording handbook to see if you’re covered.
