Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The single most typical location of a water mains leak is outside where the water mains is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become compromised. Our experts carry out a water meter leak test to determine whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We locate underground water leaks by initially evaluating which pipes are below the ground. Our non invasive leak detection approach is used to identify the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks frequently arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our specialists identify leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection techniques including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress happens where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, poor construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.

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