Non-Invasive Water Leak Tracing Technology

Gone are the days of tearing up floorboards or excavating gardens just to find a dripping pipe. At WGS Services, we utilise state-of-the-art, non-invasive leak detection methods to protect your property from unnecessary damage. Our highly trained engineers rely on advanced equipment to accurately locate the problem with minimal disruption.Using thermal imaging cameras, we can identify temperature shifts caused by escaping water hidden behind walls and under solid floors.

This modern approach is not only incredibly precise but also environmentally friendly, minimising waste and unnecessary materials while allowing us to resolve the issue swiftly.

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

Because water naturally travels along the path of least resistance, the physical signs of a leak might appear far away from the actual damaged pipe. Being able to spot the early warning signs can save you significant repair costs. One of the most common indicators is a sudden, unexplained boiler pressure loss, which often points to a fault in your central heating system.Other signs that warrant a professional damp investigation include dark patches on your walls or ceilings, lifting floorboards, a musty smell that refuses to go away, or an unusual spike in your water meter readings. If you notice any of these issues, do not wait for the problem to worsen. Contact WGS Services immediately on 01254 963593 for expert pipe repair advice and prompt intervention.

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.
