Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be found anywhere on the filtration system.

Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a signal of a leaking water main. The most probable location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become defective. Our technicians do a water meter leak test to establish whether the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We detect underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection system is used to trace the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks regularly occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include worn pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our professionals find leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify 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 span from minor water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration occurs where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage leaks arise on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include fractured pipes, worn 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 surveys inside the pipe.
