Leak Services
Our professional leak detection service quickly locates hidden water leaks using non-invasive methods to save you time, money, and property damage.
Underground Water Leak Detection
Locating and repairing underground water leaks can be a challenging and time-consuming task. Our skilled engineers use advanced, non-invasive techniques to accurately detect these leaks, enabling efficient repairs without disruption or unnecessary damage to your property.Thermal Imaging Leak Detection
Thermal imaging is an effective way to uncover hidden leaks in a property. Our advanced infrared technology detects temperature changes caused by leaks in walls, floors, and ceilings. This non-invasive approach enables accurate detection and swift repairs, ensuring minimal disruption to your home or business.Common Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
Hidden leaks can remain unnoticed for weeks or months, but there are several warning signs to look out for. A sudden increase in your water bill, damp patches on walls or ceilings, mould growth or unexplained boiler pressure loss can all suggest a hidden leak. You might also hear running water when no taps are in use or notice small areas of damage appearing inside your home or business.
Outside the property, pooling water, cracked paving, soft ground or unusually green grass can point to an underground issue. Gas leaks may cause a distinct smell or hissing noise near pipework. Acting quickly is important, as hidden leaks can lead to greater damage and higher repair costs if left unresolved. We also support nearby areas such as Euxton for similar leak detection concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Businesses often have specific concerns when it comes to hidden leaks. To help, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about our leak detection services.
We use non-invasive leak detection methods wherever possible, including acoustic listening equipment, tracer gas, thermal imaging, moisture meters and dye testing. These tools help us investigate hidden pipework, damp areas and underground leaks before any access work is considered. The aim is to narrow down the likely leak location and reduce unnecessary damage to walls, floors, ceilings or external surfaces. This makes the repair process more targeted and less disruptive.
Yes, we provide fast-response leak detection in Chorley for urgent water, gas and heating system leaks. If a leak is actively causing damage, quick investigation can help protect flooring, walls, ceilings, stock, equipment and neighbouring areas. If you suspect a gas leak, contact the National Gas Emergency Service first. Once the property is safe, our engineers can attend to help locate the source and provide clear findings for repair.
The time needed depends on the type of leak, the property layout and how accessible the pipework is. Many surveys can be completed in one visit, although complex leaks may require more detailed testing. Our engineers will assess the symptoms, choose suitable detection methods and explain what they are checking as the investigation progresses. The priority is to locate the issue accurately rather than rush the process.
Alongside Chorley, we cover surrounding areas across Lancashire and the wider North West, including Charnock Richard, Coppull, Clayton and Rivington. Our mobile engineers attend homes, commercial premises and industrial sites, using specialist equipment to trace hidden water, gas, heating and underground leaks. We can often support urgent callouts where availability allows.
Older properties can be more vulnerable to hidden leaks where pipework, joints, valves or heating systems have aged over time. Previous repairs, extensions and changes to plumbing layouts can also make leaks harder to trace visually. Our engineers use specialist equipment to investigate the symptoms and locate the likely source without unnecessary disruption. Accurate leak detection is especially useful when damp or pressure loss appears but the cause is not obvious.
Yes, our findings can help support insurance-related repair work where a hidden leak has caused damage. Many insurers need the source of the leak to be identified before related repairs are approved. We provide clear findings from the investigation, helping you understand the cause, likely location and next steps. This can make it easier to plan access work, arrange repairs and reduce unnecessary damage to the property.
