Pool Leaks

Swimming pool leaks come from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system. The single most common cause of a swimming pool leak is split pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include faulty filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Certified divers supply a SPATA approved swimming pool leak detection service to identify the cause of swimming pool leaks

Water Mains Leaks

Water main leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a sign of a leaking water supply line. The single most frequent location of a water supply leak is outside where the water mains is influenced 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 complete a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.

Below Ground Water Leaks

Underground water leaks develop from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We discover underground water leaks by first assessing which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection process is used to locate the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.

Underfloor Heating Leaks

Underfloor heating leaks regularly appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include worn pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our professionals locate leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.

Building Structure Leaks

Building leaks arise in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find 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

Roof leaks vary from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration develops where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Locate the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly skilled roof leak investigation team.

Bathroom Leaks

Shower and bathroom leaks develop from hidden pipework behind walls, beneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include deteriorated fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection experts detect leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-destructive leak detection equipment. Prevent further water damage to your property!

Drainage Leaks

Drainage leaks arise on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include damaged pipes, deteriorated seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A Drainage system is not under pressure so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV assessments inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage technician provide a detailed inspection to identify the cause of the leak and is often able to complete a repair on the same day.
