Water supply leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a symptom of a leaking water supply line. The single most common location of a water main leak is outside where the water mains is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become faulty.

Underground water leaks originate from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We find underground water leaks by first establishing which pipes are under the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection technique is used to pinpoint the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our specialists detect leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or insufficient maintenance.
