How Do We Find Hidden Water Leaks?

Today, our highly trained engineers use advanced non-invasive leak repair methods to pinpoint the exact source of escaping water without damaging your floors or walls. Our comprehensive water leak tracing process includes:Thermal Imaging: We use sensitive thermal cameras to spot temperature differences behind walls or under floorboards, making it ideal for locating central heating leaks.Acoustic Leak Detection: Our specialist acoustic sensors listen for the high-frequency sound of escaping water, allowing us to find leaks hidden deep beneath concrete or soil.Tracer Gas: By safely introducing an eco-friendly gas mixture into your pipes, we can track exactly where the gas escapes, confirming the location of the most hard-to-find leaks.Moisture Mapping: We map the spread of dampness to understand the extent of the issue and ensure all affected areas are treated.By using this modern technology, we save you money, time, and the stress of unnecessary property damage.

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.
