Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water mains. The single most likely location of a water main leak is outside where the water mains is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become worn. Our specialists do a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We find underground water leaks by initially determining which pipes are below the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection approach is used to track the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks regularly develop 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 insufficient maintenance routine. Our experts find leaks on underfloor 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 movement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection techniques including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from minor water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion develops where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Find the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly qualified roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework within walls, beneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink.

Drainage Leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, damaged seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A Drainage system is not pressurized so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV assessments inside the drainpipe.
