Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a symptom of a leaking water main. The most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water main is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become damaged. Our engineers complete a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We find underground water leaks by first identifying which pipes are below the ground. Our non invasive leak detection method is used to trace the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include degraded pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our professionals discover leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection systems including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry happens where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney.
