Water mains leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water mains. The single most frequent location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become worn. Our professionals carry out a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We discover underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection approach is used to pinpoint the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks frequently happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our technicians detect leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection methods including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from slight water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration occurs where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Pinpoint the source of your roof leak by choosing our extremely skilled roof leak investigation technicians.

Drainage Leaks arise on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, deteriorated seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A Drainage system is not pressurized so leak detection approaches are limited to CCTV investigations inside the pipe.
