Water supply leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The most frequent location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply line is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become damaged. Our professionals carry out a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We discover underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection technique is used to identify the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks frequently develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our experts find leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or overdue maintenance.
