Adam Regan is a leak detection engineer employed by ADI Leak Detection, the trading name of ADI Leak Solutions Ltd.[1][2] Based in Daventry, Northamptonshire, Regan carries out leak investigations across Greater London, South East, East Anglia, South West and the Midlands, covering 21 counties in total.[1] ADI describes his specialisms as plumbing and heating, swimming pool, and water mains, and records 15 years in plumbing and heating alongside his leak detection work.[1] ADI records 3,260 completed leak investigations for him since 2011.[1][2] He was among the first engineers to join the company and has completed more recorded leak investigations for ADI than any other engineer listed on its site.[1][2]
Background and experience[edit]
ADI records Adam Regan as having 15 years in plumbing and heating, 11 years in leak detection and a further 11 years carrying out water mains replacement work.[1] Seven of those years have been spent on swimming pool leak detection, an area supported by six years of open water diving and three years as a rescue diver.[1] His profile states that he was among the first engineers at ADI and has since specialised in swimming pool, water mains and plumbing system leak detection.[1] The company's records attribute 3,260 completed leak detection jobs to him since 2011, the highest figure published for any of its engineers.[1][2]
Qualifications[edit]
ADI publishes the following qualifications for Adam Regan: Engineering Operations NVQ Level 2, Bpec Water Supply (Water Fittings Regulations 1999), PADI Open Water Diver, PADI Advanced Open Water, Emergency First Responder (EFR - Primary Care (CPR) & Sec care (1st) AED, PADI Dry Suit and PADI Rescue Diver.[1] The company states that it holds accreditation with the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering and membership of the Water Industry Approved Plumbers Scheme, and that its engineers work under £5 million of public liability insurance.[1][2]
Specialisms and methods[edit]
Regan works across central heating, underfloor heating, water mains, bathroom plumbing, underground pipework, drains and swimming pools.[1] ADI lists his detection methods as tracer gas, acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, borescope cameras, moisture meters and leak correlation.[1] His diving certification is cited by the company as the reason he is able to carry out pool investigations that go beyond a surface-level inspection, and his background in water mains replacement extends his work from detection into repair of buried supply pipes.[1]
Areas covered[edit]
ADI lists Regan as covering 21 counties: Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Derbyshire, Essex, Gloucestershire, Greater London, Herefordshire, Hertfordshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands, Wiltshire and Worcestershire.[1] The company groups these as Greater London, South East, East Anglia, South West and the Midlands.[1][2] Coverage is published at county level; the site does not state that he works every part of every county listed.
Documented case studies[edit]
ADI publishes nine leak investigations attributed to Adam Regan: three swimming pool leaks, three underground water mains leaks, two central heating leaks and one underfloor heating leak.[1] The locations given are Shipston on Stour, Chinnor, Brackley, Warwick, Nottingham, Birmingham, Moor Park, Leicester and Dunstable.[1] Recorded outcomes include "Mains leak found beneath patio near drain, semi-permanent repair completed" at Shipston on Stour, "Leak found under pub threshold floor, copper pipe repaired" at Chinnor and "Underground mains leak located and repaired, corroded steel pipe replaced" at Brackley.[1] The site publishes a summary of each investigation rather than a full report.
