Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a signal of a leaking water main. The most typical location of a water mains leak is outside where the water main is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become faulty. Our engineers do a water meter leak test to identify whether 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 identify underground water leaks by firstly determining which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection technique is used to identify the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks typically appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers detect 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, substandard construction or overdue maintenance.

Roof leaks span from slight water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall.

Drainage leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include split pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement.
