Water supply leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The most frequent location of a water main leak is outside where the water mains is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become faulty. Our technicians do a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then conduct 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 poor installations. We find underground water leaks by firstly establishing which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection method is used to locate the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks typically occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our technicians 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 movement of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection systems including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress appears where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney.
