Water main leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a sign of a leaking water supply line. The most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become damaged. Our specialists perform a water meter leak test to determine whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by firstly establishing which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection approach is used to trace the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks often appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our specialists discover leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection methods including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration occurs where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage Leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework.
