Water main leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a indicator of a leaking water main. The most frequent location of a water mains leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become compromised. Our experts carry out a water meter leak test to establish whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by first identifying which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection approach is used to pinpoint the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
