can a leak under a concrete floor cause boiler pressure to drop with no visible damage? A hidden leak beneath a concrete floor can cause boiler pressure to drop with no visible signs of damage at the surface. ADI Leak Detection traces these sub-slab water leaks using acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging technology, identifying where pressurised pipework is losing water into the substrate. Pressure loss in a sealed heating system almost always points to an active breach somewhere in the circuit. Concrete absorbs and disperses water slowly, which means the leak site stays concealed long after the boiler gauge starts falling.
