Comprehensive Reporting To Assist Your Insurance Claim

We understand that you are probably concerned about the cost of leak detection and repairing your leak.

Most customers are unaware that finding your leak and exposing it is normally covered by your home insurance policy – normally you’ll only need to cover the small cost of any repair after your insurance claims are settled.

The section that applies is usually named “Trace & Access” or similar – if you have this on your policy then your home insurance company should reimburse the costs of our services to you. We provide a full and comprehensive report for your use in any insurance claims.

Why do we only recommend our services if your boiler is losing all its pressure in 24 hours or less?

If it takes longer than 24 hours for your boiler to lose its pressure, your leak may be too small to find.

The basis we work on is: if your boiler is losing all its pressure in a 24-hour period on a 12 radiator system, it will probably be losing around
500ml every time the pressure goes down to zero from 1.5 bar.

If we divide that 500ml over a 24-hour period we get a leak rate of 20.83ml an hour. If we break that down even further, and divide the 20.83 by 60 minutes, this gives us a leak rate of 0.347ml a minute!

This is 1/3 of a ml of water being lost per minute. Hopefully, it is now becoming clear how small this leak is. It’s just a tiny weep.

To put this into context, a droplet of water is 0.5ml, so it’s less than 1 droplet of water per minute.

Even so, at this rate, we should be able to find the leak (assuming the floors are solid. If the floors are suspended, the boiler needs to be losing all its pressure twice in a 24-hour period, in other words, once every 12 hours.)

The reason we ask all these questions is not because we don’t want to help you. It’s because unlike our competitors, we want make sure that we’re not trying to achieve an impossible task, wasting your time and your money. If we don’t think the leak is big enough to be found, we’d rather tell you before we come and charge you for a day’s work, and let you save your money!
