Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a symptom of a leaking water main. The single most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become damaged. Our engineers complete a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We identify underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are under the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection method is used to identify the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks often occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include degraded pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our specialists pinpoint leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection techniques including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from minor water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion develops where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, insufficient maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.

Drainage Leaks happen 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 under pressure so leak detection approaches are limited to CCTV surveys inside the drainage pipe.
