Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system.

Water main leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a sign of a leaking water supply line. The most likely location of a water supply leak is outside where the water mains is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become defective. Our technicians carry out a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We find underground water leaks by firstly evaluating which pipes are below the ground. Our non invasive leak detection method is used to pinpoint the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks regularly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include worn pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our engineers pinpoint leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection systems including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from slight water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress develops where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurized so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV investigations inside the pipe.
