Water main leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a signal of a leaking water supply line. The single most probable location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become faulty. Our experts do a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We locate underground water leaks by initially evaluating which pipes are below the ground. Our non invasive leak detection system is used to pinpoint the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our experts identify 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 settling of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection techniques including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from slow water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion occurs where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney.
