Leak Detection Services in Clayton-Le-Moors , Lancashire

Historically, finding a hidden leak meant lifting floorboards, breaking tiles, and excavating driveways. At WGS Services, we believe in a smarter, non-destructive approach. By combining our City and Guilds Level 2 expertise with industry-leading technology, we track down the source of your problem efficiently and cleanly.Acoustic Sensors: Water escaping from a pressurised pipe creates a distinct sound. Our highly sensitive acoustic listening equipment allows us to "hear" exactly where the leak is situated, even through solid concrete or deep underground.Thermal Imaging: For central heating and hot water system leaks, we use advanced thermal imaging cameras. These detect temperature variations within your walls or floors, visually highlighting the exact path of the water loss.Tracer Gas Testing: When dealing with complex or very small leaks, we can safely introduce an inert tracer gas into the pipework. The gas escapes at the site of the leak and is instantly picked up by our highly sensitive probes.Once the leak is accurately pinpointed, we can proceed with targeted, professional fixed-price plumbing repairs, keeping disruption to an absolute minimum.

Often, leaks go unnoticed until the damage becomes visible or hits your wallet. A sudden, unexplained spike in your water bill is one of the most common indicators of a hidden water leak. Catching the problem early is not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly, preventing the needless waste of hundreds of litres of clean water.Other key warning signs to watch out for include:Persistent damp patches, peeling wallpaper, or dark spots on ceilings and walls.A noticeable drop in your boiler's water pressure, requiring constant topping up.The sound of running or hissing water when all taps and appliances are turned off.A musty, damp smell that lingers in specific rooms.For gas leaks, a distinct sulphur or "rotten egg" smell. If you notice this, turn off your gas supply at the meter immediately and contact us for an emergency call-out.If you recognise any of these signs, do not wait for the problem to escalate.
