Experience complete peace of mind with our transparent fixed pricing—such as our £85 leak repair service—and our commitment to using only WRAS-approved fittings.

How We Find Hidden Water Leaks Without Digging

In the past, finding a hidden leak often meant pulling up floorboards, breaking tiles, or excavating driveways. Thankfully, our modern non-destructive testing methods mean we can locate the exact source of the issue with minimal disruption to your home or business.Thermal Imaging: We use advanced infrared cameras to detect temperature variations behind walls and under floors, easily spotting hidden hot or cold water leaks.Acoustic Leak Detection: Using highly sensitive listening equipment, our engineers can hear the exact location of water escaping from pressurised pipes, even deep underground.Tracer Gas Testing: For particularly stubborn central heating or mains water leaks, we introduce a safe, eco-friendly gas into the system and use sensors to detect exactly where it escapes.

Why Are Hidden Leaks So Dangerous For Your Property?

Ignoring a suspected leak is never a good idea. Water escaping into the structure of your property can lead to severe issues over time. Prolonged moisture causes structural timber to rot, damages plasterwork, and creates the perfect environment for damp and black mould to thrive. This not only ruins your home interior but can also pose a serious respiratory risk to your family or employees.Particularly during the colder months in Lancashire, frozen pipes can split and slowly thaw, creating hidden damage that goes unnoticed for weeks. By bringing in our experts for early leak detection, you protect your property and prevent minor plumbing issues from turning into major structural disasters.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our non-destructive leak detection and trace and access services in Lancashire and the surrounding areas.

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

+

Common signs include an unexplained increase in your water bill, a damp smell or visible mould, peeling wallpaper, or a boiler that constantly loses pressure. If you have a water meter, you can test for a leak by turning off all appliances and checking if the dial is still moving.

Is leak detection covered by my home insurance?

+

Most standard home insurance policies include "Trace and Access" cover. This usually pays for a professional like WGS Services to find the leak and provide access for the repair. We recommend checking your policy or speaking to your insurer, as we can provide the professional reports they often require to process a claim.

Will you have to dig up my floor to find the leak?

+

In almost all cases, no. Our thermal imaging and acoustic equipment allow us to find the leak through the floor or wall. We only need to create a small access point once we have found the exact location, which keeps the mess to an absolute minimum.

What is the difference between a plumber and a leak detection specialist?

+

A standard plumber might try to find a leak by looking for visible signs and potentially removing sections of wall or flooring. A specialist uses high-tech equipment to "see" through surfaces, finding the leak faster and more accurately without the need for destructive searching. At WGS Services, we offer both the specialist detection and the professional repair in one visit.

How long does it take to find a leak?

+

Most domestic leaks can be located within a few hours using our specialist tools. Once the leak is found, the repair time depends on the location and type of pipe, but we always aim to get your water back on and the area sealed up on the same day.
