Gone are the days of tearing up floorboards or excavating walls just to find a dripping pipe.

Why Is My Boiler Continually Losing Pressure?

One of the most common signs of a hidden leak is a boiler that constantly requires topping up. If you find yourself frequently adjusting the pressure on your heating system, there is a strong chance water is escaping from your pipework. Other warning signs include unexplained damp patches, sudden drops in water pressure, or hearing running water when all taps are turned off.Ignoring these symptoms can lead to severe water damage, frozen pipes in winter, and compromised hot water systems. Our Little Lever leak detection experts can quickly identify whether the issue is a concealed pipe leak or an appliance fault, saving you time and money.

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.
