Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a signal of a leaking water supply line. The single most probable location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply line is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become compromised. Our specialists perform a water meter leak test to verify whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We locate underground water leaks by firstly establishing which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection method is used to identify the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks frequently arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include corroded pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine.
