Burst pipes and leak detection
Burst pipes and hidden leaks. We locate the source, isolate the supply and repair the failed section.
What the work involves
Leaks behind walls and beneath slabs usually show up as a damp patch, a warm section of floor or a water bill that has risen without explanation. We use non-destructive leak detection to trace the source before anything is opened up, then repair the section of pipe that has failed.
- Water supply isolated on arrival to limit further damage
- Non-destructive leak tracing before any wall or floor is opened
- Copper, PEX and poly pipe repairs and replacement
- Written detail of the fault for insurance claims on request
