Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system. The most probable cause of a swimming pool leak is cracked pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include defective filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure.

Water mains leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The single most probable location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become defective. Our specialists conduct a water meter leak test to determine whether the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We identify underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection system is used to find the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks frequently appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our technicians locate 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, substandard construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection approaches including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from slow water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress appears where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage leaks develop on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, worn seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection approaches are limited to CCTV surveys inside the drain pipe. Our drainage specialist offers a thorough inspection to detect the cause of the leak and is normally able to undertake a repair on the same day.
