Water main leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The most typical location of a water mains leak is outside where the water main is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become faulty. Our specialists conduct a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We detect underground water leaks by firstly assessing which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection system is used to track the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks regularly occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include degraded pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our professionals pinpoint leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or deferred maintenance.

Roof leaks span from slight water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall.

Drainage leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include fractured pipes, broken seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement.
