## Tracing Hidden Leaks in Bolton West

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 West 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 West 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.

Daubhill and Deane leaks tend to come from two places — buried galvanised supply pipework still in use in some Derby Street terraces (gradually pinholing after 60-plus years), and cracked solvent-weld waste joints on first-floor showers in the Lostock and Markland Hill new-build estates. We carry thermal imaging, acoustic correlators and hydrogen-tracer gas, so even leaks under solid kitchen floors in St Helens Road properties can be pinpointed without ripping up large areas of tile. Most BL3 detection jobs are completed within 90 minutes, with a written report for insurance.
