Common Signs of Underfloor Heating Leaks
Identifying the early signs of an underfloor heating leak is crucial to prevent extensive damage and costly repairs. Here are some common indicators that you may have a leak in your underfloor heating system:
- Unexpected Increase in Energy Bills: A sudden rise in your heating costs without a change in usage patterns can indicate a leak in your heating system.
- Uneven Floor Temperatures: Cold spots or uneven heating on your floor surface suggest a potential issue beneath the floor.
- Damp or Wet Patches: Visible dampness, wet spots, or discoloration on flooring materials may signal a leak under your floor.
- Boiler Losing Pressure: Frequent drops in boiler pressure can be a sign of a hidden central heating leak.
- Mould or Mildew Growth: The presence of mould or mildew around floor edges or skirting boards can indicate excess moisture from a leak.
- Strange Noises: Gurgling or hissing sounds coming from your heating system may suggest a leak in the pipes.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to act quickly. Early leak detection can prevent costly damage and maintain the efficiency of your heating system.
Our Underfloor Heating Leak Detection Process
At North West Leak Detection, we employ a comprehensive approach to efficiently and accurately identify and repair leaks in your underfloor heating system:
1. Initial Consultation
We begin by discussing the issues you’re experiencing to understand the potential causes of the problem. This helps us tailor our approach to your specific situation and ensure we address all possible leak sources.
