Water main leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a symptom of a leaking water mains. The single most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become compromised. Our experts carry out a water meter leak test to verify whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We discover underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection technique is used to pinpoint the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks commonly arise 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 specialists locate leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection methods including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from slow water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration happens where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, degraded 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.

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