Water supply leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a warning of a leaking water main. The single most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply line is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become damaged. Our technicians carry out a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We locate underground water leaks by firstly assessing which pipes are under the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection system is used to identify the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks typically appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include degraded pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our specialists discover leaks on under floor 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 movement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection techniques including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from slight water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall.
