Water main leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a symptom of a leaking water mains. The single most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become worn. Our technicians carry out a water meter leak test to establish whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We detect underground water leaks by initially determining which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection system is used to trace the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks frequently arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our professionals locate leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks develop in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection techniques including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from minor water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration occurs where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney.
