Hidden leaks are often the most damaging, which is why NELCO PLUMBING LIMITED brings professional diagnostic equipment to every job. We use thermal imaging cameras to spot temperature differentials, acoustic listening devices to trace running water and electronic pipe tracers for accurate locating. That kit, combined with experienced fault diagnosis, means smaller openings, faster fixes and less mess for homes in Reading, Woodley and the surrounding towns.
What we repair: damaged copper or plastic pipe runs, blown joints, failed fittings, and isolated sections that cause recurring damp or loss of pressure. We also log repairs for insurance purposes and advise on preventing future leaks through routine checks.

Frequently Asked Questions
We start with non-invasive diagnostics: thermal imaging identifies cold or wet spots, acoustic listening detects the sound of escaping water and electronic tracers follow pipe runs. Together these methods narrow the search so we only open the smallest area needed to access the fault.
