Frequently asked questions

A damaged or deteriorating boiler component, including a heat exchanger, can potentially result in water leakage. Leak detection can help establish whether water is escaping from the heating system and where the problem is located.

If left undetected a leak on an incoming mains water pipe can be a serious issue. This is because the leak is often hidden deep underground or within the property’s floor or walls.

These types of leak are often difficult to detect without the proper equipment and expertise. Mains water leaks can lead to extensive water damage to your property, or even structural damage if soil and granular material is washed away causing subsidence.

Mains water leaks also waste a lot of water with consequent high water bills and negative environmental impact. It’s vital that these types of leaks are resolved as quickly as possible. A leak detection expert can help identify the source of the leak efficiently to minimise damage and costs.

Yes, all of our engineers are fully trained with all of our non-invasive Leak Detection equipment and well versed in identifying all types of leak. Our team are also health and safety trained and carry the appropriate certifications. We combine our technical expertise with years of hands-on experience.

Warning signs can include reduced or stopped water flow, unusual pipe noises, frost around exposed pipework or a lack of water from normally functioning outlets. A pipe may also leak when frozen water begins to thaw. Contact Leak Detection 24/7 for to book a call out.

Common signs include falling boiler pressure, repeatedly topping up the system, damp patches, mould, unusual heating noises, cold radiators, warm spots on floors and unexplained water damage. Some heating leaks remain completely hidden.

Common warning signs include repeated pressure loss, regularly topping up the boiler, damp patches, unexplained water damage, cold radiators, unusual heating-system noises or an increase in water usage. A hidden leak may not produce an obvious puddle, which is why specialist investigation can be important.

To detect a mains water leak, first turn off all water to your property and check the water meter flow indicator. If it continues to move, you have a leak. Next, turn off the main internal stopcock and check the meter again to see if it stops moving, which suggests the leak is within your property boundary. If the leak continues, professional leak detection methods such as acoustic equipment, thermal imaging, tracer gas, or moisture meters are used to locate the leak.

Depending on the system and symptoms, engineers may use thermal imaging, acoustic detection, moisture measurement, pressure testing and other specialist techniques to identify the likely location of the leak.

Flats can be tricky. This could be a leak in your flat or coming from another flat above. Is the leak coming from the ceiling or in any particular room? Pipe work in flats can “often require trace and access”. Please check for symptoms and write down notes of your findings Be sure to contact your insurance to see if you are covered before contacting your leak detection expert.

Most Leak Detection visits take between 1.5 – 3 hours. This varies depending on  the size of the property and the type of leak. Complex or multiple leaks may take longer to trace. Of course, we will always keep you informed throughout the process.

Every leak is different. Location, pipework, accessibility and system complexity can affect the investigation. Our engineers aim to locate leaks quickly and heating leaks can often be repaired the same day once the source has been identified.

Leak Detection 24/7 provides leak detection across Berkshire, Brighton, Sussex and surrounding areas, making it suitable for homeowners, landlords, property managers and businesses dealing with suspected boiler or heating leaks.

Look for unexplained damp patches, staining, mould, musty smells, warm areas on floors, unusual water sounds, falling heating pressure or unexpectedly high water bills. Some hidden leaks produce very few visible signs.

There are several symptoms that help to detect a mains water leak including damp patches on the walls, floors or ceilings. Unusually high water bills and low water pressure in taps and showers.

If you hear a hissing, knocking or gurgling sound from your pipework then this can also be an indication of a leak. You can also look for lush, unusually green patches of grass in your garden, especially during dry weather.

Other indicators can be cracks in paving or subsidence in your garden or driveway.

Common causes can include corrosion, ageing components, damaged pipework, failed joints, poor connections and general wear and tear. The exact cause depends on the heating system and location of the leak.

We use a wide range of specialist Leak Detection equipment to detect the source of a leak. The equipment used will vary depending on the type of leak.

Such equipment consists of:

• Thermal imaging cameras
• Acoustic listening devices
• Tracer gas
• Moisture meters
• Borescopes and endoscopic cameras

Our equipment allows us to locate leaks under floors, inside walls or underground without causing any unnecessary damage to the property.

Depending on the problem, engineers can use thermal imaging cameras, acoustic listening equipment, moisture meters, tracer gas systems and other specialist inspection equipment. The appropriate method depends on the property and suspected leak.

Once we have located the source of the leak, we will provide:

• A detailed report identifying the leak with photo’s, details and the location
• Recommendations for repair
• In many cases, we can offer same day repair (depending on access and the severity of the leak).

If you prefer, we can also coordinate with your existing plumber.

Your renovation work should come with insurance. It’s worth contacting your contractors first to investigate and then if necessary follow up with your local plumber. Before contacting a leak detection expert be sure to check your home insurance for “trace and access” cover.

If you suspect a frozen or burst pipe, act promptly. Where safe and accessible, isolate the water supply and turn off affected systems. If there is significant water escaping, contact us immediately.

If safe to do so, protect your belongings, isolate relevant water or heating systems and arrange professional leak detection. A ceiling leak may originate from pipework, heating systems, bathrooms, roofs or another part of the building, so finding the source is essential.

1. Turn off all water: inside and outside your home.
2. Locate your water meter, usually outside near your property line.
3. Check the flow indicator: on the meter. This is often a red or white triangle on the dial. If it’s still moving, there is water being used, indicating a leak.
4. Turn off the internal stopcock: or water shutoff valve to your home.
5. Check the meter again . If the flow indicator stops moving, the leak is within your property’s boundary and possibly inside your house.
   If the meter is still moving after turning off the internal stopcock, the leak is likely in your external main supply pipe, between the meter and the internal stopcock.

Winter places additional demand on heating systems and plumbing. Cold temperatures can also make vulnerable pipework more susceptible to freezing. Existing weaknesses in pipes, joints, radiators and heating systems can become apparent when systems are under greater seasonal demand.

A drop in boiler pressure can often indicate a leak in your central heating system. Especially in underfloor pipes or joints. Our team specialises in detecting these kinds of heating leaks with minimal disruption.

Repeatedly adding water to a heating system is often a sign that water is escaping somewhere. The source could be visible or concealed. Rather than continually topping up the system, a leak detection engineer can investigate why the pressure is falling.

Repeatedly topping up a heating system is not something to ignore. It can indicate water is escaping somewhere within the system. Leak Detection 24/7 can investigate pressure loss and concealed heating pipework.

Repeated pressure loss can indicate that water is escaping from the heating system. Possible sources include radiators, valves, joints, boiler components, concealed pipework and underfloor heating.

Homeowners and businesses in Woking choose Leak Detection 24/7 because we specialise solely in leak detection rather than general plumbing. This means our engineers have the equipment, training and expertise needed to locate even the most difficult hidden leaks quickly and accurately.

A boiler that repeatedly loses pressure can indicate a leak somewhere within the central heating system. The leak may be around a radiator, valve, heating pipe, underfloor heating pipework or another concealed part of the system. Leak Detection 24/7 can investigate recurring pressure loss using specialist leak detection equipment rather than relying on guesswork.

If your boiler is being used more frequently and the system is repeatedly losing pressure, this can indicate a heating-system leak. Other faults are possible, so professional investigation can establish the actual cause.

If pressure falls while the heating system is not being used, this can indicate that water is escaping from the system. A professional investigation can help determine whether the problem is a leak, a component issue or another cause.

A cold radiator can have several causes, including trapped air, balancing problems, valve issues or a heating-system fault. If it occurs alongside pressure loss, dampness or repeated boiler top-ups, a heating leak should also be investigated.

If a leak is hidden, repeatedly repairing visible symptoms may not solve the underlying problem. Leak Detection 24/7 focuses on specialist leak location, using diagnostic technology to identify the source with minimal disruption before repair work is undertaken.
