Water mains leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a signal of a leaking water mains. The most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water main is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become faulty. Our engineers complete a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We locate underground water leaks by initially evaluating which pipes are under the ground. Our non invasive leak detection method is used to identify the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks frequently develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our engineers locate leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise 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 discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection techniques including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from minor water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration occurs where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.
