Boiler Leak Detection & Repair
Expert solutions for finding and fixing leaks in all types of boiler systems
Boiler leaks can cause significant damage to your property and lead to inefficient heating, increased energy costs, and even complete system failure. At HVACLEAK.ca, we specialize in the detection and repair of leaks in all types of boiler systems, from residential units to commercial installations.
Common Boiler Leak Issues
Water Leaks
- •Pressure Relief Valve Leaks: Often caused by excessive pressure or valve deterioration
- •Pump Seal Failures: Leading to water leakage around circulation pumps
- •Pipe and Fitting Leaks: Due to corrosion, improper installation, or freeze damage
- •Heat Exchanger Cracks: Serious issues that can lead to water contamination
System Component Leaks
- •Expansion Tank Issues: Leaks from tank connections or the tank itself
- •Control Valve Failures: Leading to improper water distribution and leaks
- •Gasket Deterioration: Causing leaks at connection points
- •Corrosion Issues: Particularly in older systems or those with poor water quality
Warning Signs of Boiler Leaks
Watch for These Signs:
- •Visible water around the boiler or nearby pipes
- •Frequent need to add water to the system (pressure drops)
- •Unusual noises such as hissing, gurgling, or banging
- •Inconsistent heating or radiators not heating properly
- •Increased energy bills without explanation
- •Corrosion or rust on boiler components or nearby pipes
Our Boiler Leak Detection Process
- 1
Comprehensive System Inspection
We begin with a thorough visual inspection of your entire boiler system, including all pipes, connections, valves, and components to identify obvious leak points.
- 2
Pressure Testing
We conduct pressure tests to identify leaks that may not be immediately visible, measuring system pressure over time to detect even small leaks.
- 3
Advanced Diagnostic Tools
Using ultrasonic leak detectors and thermal imaging cameras, we can pinpoint the exact location of leaks within your boiler system without invasive procedures.
- 4
Water Quality Analysis
We test the water in your system to check for contaminants that might indicate internal leaks or corrosion issues.
