Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be found anywhere on the filtration system. The most frequent cause of a swimming pool leak is fractured pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include defective filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure.

Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water mains is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become compromised. Our engineers conduct a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We locate underground water leaks by first assessing which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection approach is used to track the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks typically occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include worn pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our engineers identify leaks on underfloor 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 movement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection methods including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from minor water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion occurs where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, poor construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.

Drainage Leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, deteriorated seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not pressurised so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drainage pipe.
