Non-Invasive Water Leak Tracing Technology

In the past, finding a hidden leak meant tearing up floorboards or excavating driveways. At WGS Services, we use advanced, non-invasive leak repair methods to locate the fault without unnecessary damage to your home or business. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment includes:Thermal Imaging: We use advanced cameras to detect temperature changes behind walls and under floors, easily identifying hidden moisture mapping anomalies.Acoustic Leak Detection: Highly sensitive microphones allow us to literally listen for the exact location of high-pressure water escapes beneath concrete.Tracer Gas: A safe, eco-friendly gas mixture is introduced into empty pipes. As it escapes the breach, our sensors detect it with pinpoint accuracy.Once the issue is located, we also hold specialist approvals like the Pipe Doctor no-dig repair system, meaning we can often restore drainage pipes without any disruptive excavation.

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.
