Water mains leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a sign of a leaking water supply line. The most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water mains is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become defective. Our specialists perform a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We find underground water leaks by initially determining which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection approach is used to find the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks frequently occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers discover leaks on under-floor 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 settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection technologies including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from slow water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration develops where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, insufficient maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Locate the source of your roof leak by choosing our exceptionally qualified roof leak investigation experts.

Drainage leaks happen on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, worn seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A Drainage system is not pressurized so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drain pipe.
