Water mains leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a symptom of a leaking water main. The most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water mains is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become faulty. Our technicians perform a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks originate 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 discover underground water leaks by first assessing which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection method is used to find the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our experts pinpoint leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection approaches 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 happens where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Locate the source of your roof leak by choosing our exceptionally qualified roof leak investigation professionals.
Shower and bathroom leaks arise from hidden pipework behind walls, underneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink.

Our plumbing leak detection experts detect leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non invasive leak detection equipment. Stop further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks happen on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include damaged pipes, deteriorated seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not pressurized so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV examinations inside the drain pipe.
