Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a signal of a leaking water supply line. The most common location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become damaged. Our professionals complete a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct 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, corroded pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We identify underground water leaks by first establishing which pipes are under the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection technique is used to track the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks regularly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include worn pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our experts detect leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection approaches including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry occurs where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.

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