Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a indicator of a leaking water supply line. The single most likely location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become worn. Our specialists perform a water meter leak test to confirm if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We identify underground water leaks by firstly assessing which pipes are under the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection process is used to pinpoint the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks regularly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include degraded pipework, incorrect 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 develop in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or neglected maintenance.
