Water main leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a symptom of a leaking water main. The single most typical location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply pipe is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become defective.

Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We identify underground water leaks by first evaluating which pipes are under the ground.

Under-floor heating leaks regularly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings.
