We discover underground water leaks by first determining which pipes are below the ground.

Under-floor heating leaks often appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine.
