Underground water leaks originate from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by first identifying which pipes are underneath the ground.

Underfloor heating leaks typically happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include worn pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our engineers identify leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or lacking maintenance.
