Water mains leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The most likely location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply line is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become worn.

Underground water leaks arise from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We find underground water leaks by initially determining which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection process is used to pinpoint the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks commonly arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine.
