Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a indicator of a leaking water main. The most frequent location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become defective. Our technicians do a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by first identifying which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection approach is used to find the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically happen 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 lacking maintenance routine. Our engineers pinpoint leaks on underfloor 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 settlement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or neglected maintenance.
