Here's how Scott Hardcastle from ADI Leak Detection found and located a underfloor heating leak at a property in Eye. Scott Hardcastle attended a property in Eye, a large barn conversion with approximately 19 radiators served by an oil combi boiler housed in a separate building, with pipework running externally under the floor into the main residence. The heating system showed a pressure of 1.5 bar and failed its integrity test, with the leak described as intermittent in its rate. A damp meter identified elevated moisture readings around the floor near a living room radiator, after which the system was drained and vacuumed before tracer gas was introduced to the pipework and the affected area scanned, with acoustic equipment used to pinpoint the source further. Following the work, the system was pressure tested at 2 bar with no drop in pressure, and the recommendations for the property include allowing the area to dry fully before re-screeding, with a dehumidifier suggested to assist the drying process if required. And here's what a Trustpilot reviewer said. Farenc and Scott visited us today and were able to locate our leak, which was under flagstone flooring. They fixed it efficiently and left the hole in a clear, clean state, ready for it to be made good by another firm under our insurance policy. They were very polite and friendly, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or the firm For leak detection in Eye, call ADI Leak Detection on 0800 731 3843.
