Water supply leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The single most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply line is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become compromised. Our technicians perform a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We identify underground water leaks by firstly evaluating which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection system is used to find the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks often occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include damaged pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our professionals pinpoint leaks on underfloor 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, defective construction or neglected maintenance.

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