How We Trace Hidden Water and Gas Leaks

Finding the source of a leak used to involve pulling up floorboards and breaking through walls. Today, our non-destructive testing methods allow us to locate the problem quickly, cleanly, and accurately. When you book a damp investigation or leak tracing service with us, here is how our process works:Acoustic Surveys: We use highly sensitive acoustic sensors to listen for the specific frequencies of escaping water or gas deep within walls or under floors.Thermal Imaging: Our advanced thermal cameras detect minute temperature differences caused by hidden moisture, allowing us to track central heating leaks and hidden pipework effortlessly.Gas Tracing: For suspected gas leaks or hard-to-find water leaks, we can introduce a safe tracer gas into the system and use highly calibrated sniffers to locate the exact point of exit.Targeted Repair: Once the leak is identified, we provide a targeted fix, keeping disruption to an absolute minimum. Need urgent help? Reach out to our emergency plumber team.

The Benefits of Non-Destructive Testing

Choosing WGS Services for your leak detection brings immediate benefits to both your property and the environment. By utilising thermal imaging and acoustic sensors, we eliminate the need for costly and messy exploratory work. This non-destructive testing approach protects your home's interior and drastically reduces repair times.Furthermore, early detection is highly eco-friendly. A small hidden leak can waste hundreds of litres of water over a few weeks, putting unnecessary strain on local resources and your wallet. By tracking down and repairing these faults promptly, we help conserve water while protecting your property from long-term rot, mould, and structural degradation.

Why is my water bill suddenly so high?

A sudden, unexplained water bill increase is one of the most common signs of a concealed plumbing issue. If your usage habits have not changed but your metered bill has spiked, there is a strong chance water is escaping from your main supply pipe or internal plumbing. This could be a slow weep beneath a solid concrete floor or a leaking joint behind bathroom tiling.Do not ignore a rising bill, as hidden water can quietly erode foundations and ruin plasterwork. Contact us on 01254 963593 to book a professional water leak tracing survey. Once the leak is found, you can rely on our fixed-price plumbing repairs to get your system back to normal without any hidden costs.

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.
