Swimming pool leaks come from the pool structure, liner or be found anywhere on the filtration system. The most common cause of a swimming pool leak is damaged pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, further causes include faulty filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Certified divers provide a SPATA recognised swimming pool leak detection service to detect the origin of swimming pool leaks
Water mains leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a sign of a leaking water supply line. The single most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water mains is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become defective. Our engineers complete a water meter leak test to verify whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct 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, degraded pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection method is used to locate the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks often appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include damaged pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our professionals identify leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection systems including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry develops where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Discover the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly skilled roof leak investigation team.
Shower and bathroom leaks come from hidden pipework inside walls, underneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include worn fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection engineers pinpoint leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-invasive leak detection equipment. Eliminate further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks happen on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include split pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not pressurized so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drainpipe. Our drainage technician carries out a comprehensive inspection to identify the cause of the leak and is typically able to undertake a repair on the same day.
