Water supply leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a signal of a leaking water supply line. The most likely location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply line is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become defective. Our technicians do a water meter leak test to determine whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We identify underground water leaks by first identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection system is used to trace the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our professionals identify leaks on underfloor 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 settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection methods including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from slow water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion develops where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.

Drainage leaks develop on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include split pipes, deteriorated seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV investigations inside the pipe. Our drainage specialist provides a detailed inspection to detect the cause of the leak and are often able to perform a repair on the same day.
