Why Choose Us for Non-Destructive Water Leak Tracing?

Finding a hidden water leak shouldn't mean tearing up your property. As Lancashire's trusted plumbing experts covering a 20-mile radius of Darwen, our City & Guilds Level 2 qualified and DBS-checked engineers use advanced acoustic and thermal imaging technology to pinpoint issues fast. 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 Water Leaks Without Damaging Your Home

In the past, finding a hidden leak often meant disruptive and expensive excavation, pulling up floorboards, and damaging walls. Today, our Lancashire leak specialists use state-of-the-art technology to find water leaks without tearing your home apart.We utilise thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature variations behind walls and under floors, alongside highly sensitive acoustic leak detection equipment that listens for the precise frequency of escaping water. This non-invasive approach is not only far more cost-effective, but it is also an eco-friendly way to minimise water waste while protecting your property's structural integrity.

How Can I Tell If I Have a Hidden Leak?

Because many pipes are hidden beneath floorboards or behind walls, leaks can go unnoticed for weeks or even months. Spotting the early warning signs can save you from extensive water damage and costly plumbing repairs in Chorley.Frequent pressure drops: If you are constantly having to top up your boiler, you likely have central heating leaks within the system.Unexplained damp or mould: New water stains on ceilings, walls, or skirting boards are a clear indicator of hidden moisture.Spiking water bills: A sudden, unexplained increase in your water meter readings suggests water is escaping somewhere on your property.Hissing or running water sounds: Hearing faint water movement when all taps and appliances are turned off is a strong sign of a concealed leak.

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.
