Leak & Fault Finding in Chelmsford

Leak & Fault Finding for Chelmsford (CM1) properties

Chelmsford has the usual English mix: period property on original clay pipework, post-war housing on pitch fibre or early plastic, and newer builds on UPVC that still connect into much older shared runs. Each fails in a different way, so we diagnose before we dig. We factor that into every leak & fault finding job we take in CM1.

  • Displaced joints and misalignment caused by ground movement
