Swimming pool leaks come from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system.

Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a warning of a leaking water main. The most likely location of a water mains leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become defective. Our specialists perform a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We find underground water leaks by initially assessing which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection approach is used to trace the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks typically develop 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 deficient maintenance routine. Our engineers pinpoint leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection systems including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry occurs where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Locate the source of your roof leak by choosing our very expert roof leak investigation professionals.

Drainage Leaks develop on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, worn seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV assessments inside the drain pipe. Our drainage specialist offers a detailed inspection to find the cause of the leak and is typically able to carry out a repair on the same day.
