Our PADI Qualified divers offer a SPATA recognised swimming pool leak detection service to find the location of swimming pool leaks
Water mains leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a signal of a leaking water mains. The single most frequent location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become compromised. Our experts perform a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We detect underground water leaks by initially assessing which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection system is used to find the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks often develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include worn pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our engineers pinpoint 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 detect 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 span from minor water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion occurs where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, incorrect construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.
