Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a signal of a leaking water main. The most likely location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply line is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become defective. Our technicians perform a water meter leak test to confirm if the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by initially assessing which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection method is used to trace the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks commonly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our professionals find 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 settling of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection methods including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from minor water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall.
