Recent leak investigations carried out by Krzysztof Kobylinski across central heating, water mains, underfloor heating and bathroom leak detection.
With livestock water troughs, stable supplies, and garden tap pipework all drawing from the same system, isolating the cause required a methodical approach. Stop valve leak repaired; garden tap supply isolated; meter referral recommended.
A property in Haywards Heath presented with a damaged ceiling in the kitchen, showing visible watermarks that suggested water had been leaking from above. Leak found in ceiling void, overflow pipe replaced.
Real Trustpilot feedback from customers Krzysztof has attended.
Krzysztof came into leak detection through a background in plumbing, heating, and water mains replacement, which means he understands how systems are built before he starts working out where they are failing. On site, he draws on acoustic listening equipment, tracer gas, and thermal imaging depending on what the situation calls for. He covers a broad patch across southern England and the Midlands. Away from work, he is a football fan with a taste for steak, seafood, and traditional Polish cooking.
Krzysztof specialises in central heating leak detection, water mains leak detection, underfloor heating leak detection, bathroom leak detection, drain leak investigation, and underground leak detection. He is particularly known for plumbing and heating work and water mains jobs, including full mains replacement where the pipe has failed beneath a driveway or garden.
He starts with acoustic listening equipment, which detects the sound of escaping water through floors, walls, or ground. Thermal imaging cameras are used where moisture movement is affecting surface temperatures behind tiles or beneath screed. Tracer gas is brought in for buried or pressurised pipe runs where acoustic methods alone are not sufficient, and a borescope camera allows direct visual inspection inside cavities.
Krzysztof has 16 years in leak detection, 16 years in water main replacement, 16 years in internal and external plumbing, and three years as a Senior Water Mains Leak Detection Engineer at ADI. He holds a CSCS Card, Cat and Genny certification, and a digger licence, which covers him for the excavation work that sometimes follows a detection.
Krzysztof works on residential and commercial properties across southern England and the Midlands. Jobs range from internal plumbing and heating leaks in flats and houses through to underground water mains investigations on larger properties, including cases where the supply pipe runs beneath a driveway, patio, or garden and physical excavation is required after detection.
If you have an unexplained rise on your water bill, damp patches appearing on walls, floors, or ceilings, or a central heating system losing pressure without an obvious cause, those are the situations that warrant a professional investigation.
