Water supply leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The single most frequent location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become compromised. Our experts complete a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We detect underground water leaks by firstly determining which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection technique is used to locate the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks frequently happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our professionals find leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection techniques including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry occurs where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney.

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