## Tracing Hidden Leaks in Farnworth & Kearsley

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 Farnworth & Kearsley 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 Farnworth & Kearsley 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.

Farnworth Victorian terraces almost always produce one of two leak patterns — a cold rising main pinholing as it enters through the cellar wall, or an upstairs bathroom waste cracking where the shower tray meets the trap. In Stoneclough and Kearsley Mount new-builds, leaks are typically buried underfloor-heating pipework where the manifold connectors have failed. We use thermal imaging plus acoustic listening to pinpoint without lifting tiles, and provide a full leak-detection report acceptable to Aviva, Direct Line, LV and Hiscox insurance trace-and-access claims.
