Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water supply line. The most probable location of a water main leak is outside where the water mains is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become faulty. Our engineers complete a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
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 inadequate installations. We detect underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are under the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection system is used to trace the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks frequently occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include damaged pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our experts identify 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, defective construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate 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 vary from slight water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration develops where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, poor construction, insufficient maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Identify the source of your roof leak by choosing our exceptionally professional roof leak investigation professionals.

Prevent further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks arise on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include fractured pipes, broken seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV examinations inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage technician carries out a comprehensive inspection to discover the cause of the leak and is usually able to complete a repair on the same day.
