Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The single most likely location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become faulty. Our professionals do a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We locate underground water leaks by initially determining which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection system is used to track the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks regularly develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our professionals pinpoint leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection systems including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from slight water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration occurs where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney.
