Hidden Leak Detectionin Bolton North

Tracing Hidden Leaks in Bolton North

We use a combination of acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging cameras and pressure testing to locate the exact source of a leak — whether it's a buried supply pipe under a Bolton North driveway, a pinhole in concealed copperwork behind plasterboard, or a slow drip in a sealed unit beneath a tiled floor.

Once located we either carry out a direct repair or, where access is limited, recommend the most cost-effective option. We document the cause and the repair, which is what most home insurance trace-and-access claims require.

Many Bolton North insurance policies cover the cost of finding a leak ('trace and access') as well as the repair itself — we can talk you through the wording before we attend.

Hidden leaks in Halliwell and Astley Bridge nearly always trace to one of three sources — buried central-heating pipework under the original solid-floor kitchens of the stone terraces, perished compression joints on rising mains entering the cellar head, or pinhole corrosion on copper feeds running through the loft to upstairs bathrooms. In the larger Sharples and Egerton properties we more often locate leaks on hidden cylinder primary runs in ceiling voids. Thermal imaging plus tracer-gas pinpointing means we usually find the source within 60-90 minutes of arriving on Blackburn Road or Moss Bank Way calls.
