Water main leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a signal of a leaking water main. The most likely location of a water supply leak is outside where the water mains is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become defective. Our engineers do a water meter leak test to establish whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out 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 defective installations. We identify underground water leaks by firstly establishing which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection process is used to trace the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks typically happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our professionals pinpoint 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, poor construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection approaches including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall.
