Water main leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a symptom of a leaking water supply line. The most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply pipe is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become compromised. Our technicians conduct a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We find underground water leaks by initially evaluating which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection system is used to pinpoint the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks commonly arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our professionals find leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify 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 range from slow water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration develops where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney.
