Loft header tanks overflowing or constantly running could be a sign that there is an issue somewhere in your pipe work. This fault is usually common in older systems where the tank is fitted in the roof; this leaking can cause widespread damage in your home as it is usually unnoticed until the water damage comes through. The damage can also spread to large areas making it difficult to identify the leak areas.

Did you know that your central heating could have a leak with no immediate signs of water damage? Sometimes the first hint that you have a central heating leak is your boiler dropping in pressure which can (after an extended period) cause it to cut out. Low pressure is generally easy to diagnose as most boilers and central heating systems have a pressure gauge attached. Constant water pressure is integral to the working of your central heating systems and so if the pipes breach at any point this could spell trouble for your heating system.

Thermal imaging is one of the most popular methods of leak detection available, and here at Cheshire Plumbers we have a team of ITC qualified Thermographers who are on hand to complete your leak detection service. What is thermal imaging leak detection and how can it help you or your business? Thermal imaging leak detection can locate a leak quickly and efficiently even if the area is covered by obstacles. It uses infrared cameras to detect and measure thermal energy released from areas, a leak can then be detected from the heat it releases. Thermal imaging can easily identify underfloor heating leaks, detect defects and identify cold spots. The advantages of this are that rather than using the traditional methods where large areas are ripped up, instead it can be found with minimal disruption. With this type of leak detection a whole house can be scanned incredibly quickly to give you a comprehensive image of the energy efficiency of your home. Leaks can cause many problems for your home and can mean that you’re left with costly repairs where leaks have damaged walls, as well as much bigger energy bills than you should. This method of leak detection means that you’ll spend less money on plumbing costs as the issue is quickly isolated. Thermal imaging can also be a good idea if you’re moving in to a new home, you want to inspect insulation for thermal performance or you want to do an energy audit.

Here at Cheshire Plumbers we’re experts at fitting underfloor heating systems in a variety of environments from commercial properties to homes. Underfloor heating has a wide range of benefits for your home and business, and has now become a common and desirable feature for both new build and renovation projects. One of the biggest benefits is the distribution of heat to keep your toes warmed up! The Advantages of Underfloor Heating The underfloor heating works by weaving a large amount of high tech plastic pipes under the floors, which heats up and this heat radiates through the flooring. This means the heat is evenly spread throughout the room, rather than just coming from one or two points. Another advantage is that you don’t need unsightly or large radiators to heat the room – instead all of the heating is done below the surface. Below is one of our most recent underfloor heating projects, which used over 9km of pipe. Underfloor Heating Leak Detection Our expertise fitting underfloor heating also makes us incredibly adept at maintaining or fixing the systems, with our underfloor heating leak detection equipment. It’s very rare that underfloor heating should leak, but factors such as the age, how it was fitted and extreme weather conditions can sometimes cause an issue. If this does happen, our team of underfloor heating leak detection specialists can quickly find the leak using techniques such as thermal imaging, to reduce widespread damage. We can then repair the leak and get your underfloor heating back to full working order.
