Water main leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a symptom of a leaking water supply line. The single most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become defective.

Underground water leaks originate from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We detect underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection method is used to pinpoint the origin 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.
