Water main leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a symptom of a leaking water supply line. The most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become defective. Our technicians conduct a water meter leak test to confirm if the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks stem 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 detect underground water leaks by initially evaluating which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection technique is used to identify the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks typically develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our professionals find 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 settlement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection systems including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from minor water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion appears where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney.
