Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a indicator of a leaking water supply line. The single most frequent location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply line is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become damaged. Our professionals conduct a water meter leak test to establish whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We detect underground water leaks by first evaluating which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection process is used to track the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks often appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our technicians locate leaks on under-floor 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 neglected maintenance.
