Leak Detection West London
Here at Boiler Boys London, we understand how stressful and potentially damaging water leaks can be to your property. Our qualified team are on hand to detect and pinpoint any hidden leaks you may be experiencing. We offer comprehensive leak detection services using state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring we can locate leaks accurately and efficiently with minimal disruption to your property.
Our Advanced Leak Detection Equipment
At Boiler Boys London, we invest in the latest leak detection technology to ensure we can provide the most accurate and efficient service:
Thermal Imaging Cameras
Our high-resolution thermal imaging cameras allow us to detect temperature differences that indicate water leaks behind walls, under floors, or in ceilings without causing any damage to your property.
Moisture Meters
We use professional-grade moisture meters to precisely measure the moisture content in various materials, helping us confirm leak locations and assess the extent of water damage.
Tracer Gases and Gas Sensors
For particularly challenging leaks, we utilize tracer gases and specialized sensors that can detect even the smallest leaks in pipework systems that other methods might miss.
Ground Acoustic Equipment
Our sensitive acoustic equipment helps us detect underground leaks by amplifying the sound of water escaping from pipes beneath concrete, tarmac, or soil.
Endoscope Cameras
Our flexible endoscope cameras allow us to visually inspect pipes and cavities in walls, floors, and ceilings, providing visual confirmation of leaks and their causes.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
As many homeowners may not be experienced in identifying hidden leaks, it is important to be able to spot the warning signs. That's why we have identified several indicators to look out for:
Unexplained Increase in Water Bills
If your water bills have suddenly increased without a change in your usage patterns, it could indicate a hidden leak somewhere on your property.
Damp Patches or Discoloration
Unexplained damp patches, water stains, or discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors often point to a leak within the structure.
Reduced Water Pressure
A noticeable drop in water pressure throughout your property could indicate a leak in your water supply pipes.
Musty Odors
Persistent musty or moldy smells, even after cleaning, can indicate hidden damp areas caused by leaks.
Visible Mold Growth
The appearance of mold in unusual places, especially when it keeps returning after treatment, often suggests moisture from a hidden leak.
Warm Spots on Floors
For underfloor heating systems, unusual warm spots could indicate a leak in your heating pipes.
Sounds of Running Water
If you can hear water running when all taps and appliances are turned off, this could be a sign of a leak in your plumbing system.
Cracks in Foundations
Significant water leaks can sometimes cause soil erosion around foundations, leading to cracks or structural issues.
