Water main leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a warning of a leaking water mains. The most likely location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply line is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become compromised. Our professionals conduct a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are below the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection process is used to locate the location 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 corroded pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our experts find leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or deferred maintenance.
