Swimming pool leaks come from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system. The most frequent cause of a swimming pool leak is broken pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include loose filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure.

Water mains leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a warning of a leaking water main. The single most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply line is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become worn. Our specialists complete a water meter leak test to determine whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains pipes, 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 initially determining which pipes are below the ground. Our non destructive leak detection method is used to locate the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks regularly develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our experts detect leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks develop in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection approaches including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress appears where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Pinpoint the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly skilled roof leak investigation professionals.
Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework within walls, underneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include worn out fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection experts discover leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non invasive leak detection equipment. Eliminate further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks arise on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include damaged pipes, damaged seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not under pressure so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV surveys inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage technician carries out a thorough inspection to pinpoint the cause of the leak and are generally able to complete a repair on the same day.
