Winter is a vey busy time of the year for us at Leak Detection Specialists . In November our leak detection engineers successully found 160 water leaks from Central Heating water leaks to mains water leaks. One of the major factors in water main breaks or water leaks in winter is caused by frost, especially in rigid piping materials. The major cause of the problem is when the frost exerts pressure on the pipes causing them to flex. If the frost protection provided is insufficient for exceptional freezing conditions, or the premises are left unoccupied or without adequate heating, damage and leakage can often be avoided by shutting off the water supply and draining the system before the onset of freezing. A frozon pipe actually bursts (spilts open) when it freezes due to the expansion of water changing to ice, it is only when it thaws out that we realise it has burst by seeing the water leak out. Sometimes there will be visible evidence of a water leak such as dampness, water stai

Apart from the obvious signs of leakage there are a few useful pointers: Are you receiving high water bills ? Is there a loss of water pressure and flow rate? Is there a discolouration in the supply water? Are the tanks continually running in the loft? Central heating : Is there a repeated loss of system pressure on a combi boiler?     Points to remember . Know where the isolation points are i.e. the stop taps internal and external. Check that its operational and accessible.

Leak Detection Birmingham  "Hi Lisa, many thanks for your help in this problem.

Steve Wigglesworth (Date: 4.10.2012) Leak Detection London  "After a problematic survey to locate a leak under membrane and double tiles. Michael pinpointed the leak, removing only one tile in the bathroom to repair the leak. I am very happy with the results, thank you.&qu

Noise Loggers are used for early detection of leaks in water supply networks.The longer it takes to identify that a network is leaking the more revenue is lost and the greater the loss of precious water resources. In addition to the more conventional methods of leak detection the installation of permanent noise loggers has proved to be a cost effective tool in early identification of water loss. By permanently monitoring sections of the system, which have previously been proven leak free, it will alert you when a potential leak does develop. Using a network of Noise Loggers , digital Correlating Loggers (DCLs) Leak Detection Specialists can pinpoint the exact locations of any leaks in one overnight surveillance. LDS enginneers will plan the placement of the DCLs and analyze and review the overnight results. Noise loggers are considerably more sensitive than the human ear and are usually active during the night, when background noise is at a minimum. Noise amplitude (or loudnes

Central heating leaks could be the cause of your boiler loosing pressure on a sealed system, this could mean that you may have a hidden leak on your central heating pipework or underfloor heating pipework somewhere in your property. With advanced modern technology, and state of the art equipment, Leak Detection Specialists engineers can locate your central heating leaks super-fast and accurately. Central Heating Leaks : In a sealed central heating system, losing pressure on your boiler will be the first tell-tale sign of a possible leak on the central heating system. Constantly topping your system up will be diluting the important corrosion inhibitor in the system and in most modern heating systems can cause severe damage to the boiler itself, including the heat exchanger which can be very costly to replace ! This can eventually lead to failure of the boiler leaving you without heating and/or hot water. On an older system, the central heating filling and expansion tank in the lof

This month has been a busy month for L.D.S Leak Detection Specialists Ltd .

We should have an outcome soon. At L.D.S Leak Detection Specialists we have also been in constant contact with our friends in the Falklands regarding another Leak Detection package for the island. We should have news on this development very soon too. Another Leak Detection visit to Kings Park Holiday Homes is going to be carried out next week and this will be our eighth visit to the site where we have reduced the daily water consumption from 160 cubic meters of water to around 70 cubes a day so far. A massive water reduction has been confirmed by the Park Homes reducing their water bill

A water meter is a device that measures how much water you use. It is similar to your gas or electricity meter. Your supplier uses readings from the meter to calculate how much to charge you for your water and sewerage services. If you have a meter, the amount you pay will depend on how much water you have used. If you do not have a meter, you will be charged a fixed amount each year (‘unmetered’ charges). Your water company will usually read your meter twice a year. If it cannot read your meter, it will estimate how much water you have used so that it can send you a bill. You can also provide a meter reading to your company yourself at any time. If you disagree with your estimated bill and want one based on your own meter reading, the company will send you a further bill based on that reading. It is a good idea to read your meter regularly and give the company a reading so your bills are more accurate. It will also help you to track how much water you are using and make it easier

Less than 2% of the earths water supply is fresh.The average person in Britain uses 155 litres of water a day. A figure that has dramatically risen in the past 30 years & looks set to climb. Getting water to your taps uses a lot of energy especially when its heated up. If every UK home reduced there hot water use by just 5% the CO2 saving would be equivalent to taking around half a million cars of the road. Saving water saves you money & helps save the environment. In developing countries each person uses only 20 litres a day 1/3 of household water is used to flush the toilet. On average, people flush the toilet 5.2 times a day. Washing machines and dishwashers used over 500 billion litres of water in the UK in 2000 alone (94% was used by washing machines). Recent predictions show that consumption is set to rise by an additional 100 billion litres by the year 2020.Just taking a five minute shower very day, instead of a bath, will use a third of the water, saving up to 400

Are correct settings of a thermostats really that important? What difference does a few degrees make? Quite a lot overtime interms of wasted fuel and money. By setting thermostats wisely we can save on fuel ills and help the environment too.<br><br> Do I need to get a leak fixed? A leaking hot water pipe means that the hot waterlost is replaced by cold water, which then has to be reheated, wasting boiler energy. (A loss of metered water can be expensive). A leak on your heating system can dramatically increase your fuel bills.

FROST PROTECTION If the frost protection provided is insufficient for exceptional freezing conditions, or the premises are left unoccupied or without adequate heating, damage and leakage can often be avoided by shutting off the water supply and draining the system before the onset of freezing. Did you know? The wrong thickness of insulating material provided is a common fault identified by many water company inspectors when checking systems! When does a pipe burst due to freezing? Is it when it thaws out? No, the pipe actually bursts (spilts open) when it freezes due to the expansion of water changing to ice, it is only when it thaws out that we realise it has burst by seeing the water leak out. When water freezes it expands by about 10%. In order to protect against frost damage, mains and service pipes should be atleast 750mm beneath the surface of the ground. If you do have a water leak, Leak Detection Specialists will accurately locate your water leak quickly and cost e
