Water main leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The most likely location of a water mains leak is outside where the water mains is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become defective. Our specialists carry out a water meter leak test to determine whether the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by first establishing which pipes are below the ground. Our non destructive leak detection system is used to pinpoint the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks commonly occur 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 deficient maintenance routine. Our experts pinpoint leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection methods including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from slow water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall.

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