Water supply leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The single most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become defective. Our specialists do a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We identify underground water leaks by initially establishing which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection technique is used to find the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks often appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our technicians detect leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks develop in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection methods including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from minor water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry develops where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage Leaks arise on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include damaged pipes, damaged seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement.
