Underground water leaks develop from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We discover underground water leaks by first identifying which pipes are under the ground.

Underfloor heating leaks frequently develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include damaged pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our experts pinpoint leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or insufficient maintenance.
