Water mains leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a signal of a leaking water mains. The most typical location of a water mains leak is outside where the water mains is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become worn. Our specialists carry out a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We identify underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection technique is used to find the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks commonly occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include worn pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our experts detect 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, inadequate construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection systems 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.
