Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be found anywhere on the filtration system. The single most probable cause of a swimming pool leak is split pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, further causes include deteriorated filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure.

Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a indicator of a leaking water mains. The most likely location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply line is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become worn. Our experts do a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by first determining which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection approach is used to find the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically develop 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 inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers discover leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection technologies including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from minor water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress happens where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Locate the source of your roof leak by choosing our very professional roof leak investigation specialists.
