OUR PHILOSOPHY

Stop hidden water leaks from damaging your Ormskirk home

Have you noticed a damp patch appearing on the ceiling, or maybe your boiler pressure just won't stay up no matter how many times you top it up? It is incredibly frustrating when you know there is a leak somewhere but you can't see it. In Ormskirk, many of the older properties in the town centre or the newer builds out towards Aughton have pipes tucked away under floorboards or behind thick masonry. You shouldn't have to start tearing your home apart just to find a dripping pipe. That is where we come in. At Drain Magic, we specialize in finding those 'invisible' leaks using non-invasive technology that feels a bit like magic, saving you from a lot of mess and a massive repair bill.

Most homeowners we talk to in West Lancashire are terrified that finding a leak means pulling up expensive tiles or ripping up the laminate. We do things differently. Think of us as detectives for your plumbing. We use thermal imaging cameras to 'see' heat signatures behind walls and acoustic listening devices that can hear the tiny hiss of a pipe through concrete. If the leak is really being stubborn, we use tracer gas – a safe, inert gas that we pump into the system which 'sniffs' its way out of the smallest crack, letting us pinpoint the exact spot. It's precise, clean, and prevents you from having to turn your living room into a building site.

Did you know that most home insurance policies in the UK include something called 'Trace and Access'? This usually covers the cost of finding the leak and exposing it so it can be fixed. We know how much of a headache dealing with insurers can be, so we handle the technical side for you. Our expert engineers provide the detailed, professional reports that insurance companies need to process your claim quickly. Whether you are in the L39 or L40 postcode area, we help ensure you aren't left out of pocket for the detective work required to save your property from water damage.

Imagine opening your post to find a water bill that is double what you expected. If United Utilities has sent you a letter about high usage, or if your water meter is spinning even when everything is turned off, you likely have a leak on your mains supply. These hidden leaks under your driveway or garden can waste thousands of litres of water. Our North West team uses specialized ground microphones to find these external leaks quickly. Once we find it, we don't just walk away; we have the drainage and groundwork expertise to perform a 'no-dig' repair or a localized excavation to get it sorted, stopping your money from literally draining away.

EXPERT LEAK DETECTION IN ORMSKIRK

Complete find and fix service across West Lancashire

The biggest problem with some leak detection companies is that they only 'find' the problem and then leave you to find a plumber to actually fix it. That's not how we work at Drain Magic. Because we are experts in everything from CCTV drain surveys to emergency plumbing, we offer a seamless service. Once we have located the source of the damp or the pressure loss in your Burscough or Ormskirk property, our engineers can usually get straight to work on the repair. We carry the tools and parts needed to fix most common leaks on the spot, giving you total peace of mind that the job is done properly from start to finish.

We'd been having recurring problems with our drains for months. Drain Magic did a full CCTV survey and found a cracked pipe under our patio. They explained the 'no-dig' relining option clearly, which saved us a huge mess and expense. First-class service.

Used Drain Magic for a homebuyer drain survey on a property we were buying in Liverpool. The report was incredibly detailed and they talked us through the findings. It gave us complete peace of mind before completing the purchase. An essential and very professional service.

Our restaurant kitchen drain was completely blocked. The team from Drain Magic arrived promptly with their high-pressure jetting gear and had us back up and running in no time. Efficient, knowledgeable, and their price was very competitive. We'll be using them for all our maintenance now.

Excellent service from start to finish. The engineer who came to our home in Merseyside was friendly, polite, and fixed our blocked sink in minutes. I was really impressed with how professional and tidy they were. Wouldn't hesitate to call them again.
