The single most common location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become damaged.

Underground water leaks stem from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by firstly assessing which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection method is used to track the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks regularly develop 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 insufficient maintenance routine. Our technicians identify leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or lacking maintenance.
