Water mains leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The most common location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply line is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become compromised. Our engineers do a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks develop 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 detect underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection method is used to identify the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks frequently arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include damaged pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our technicians pinpoint leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks develop in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection systems including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from slight water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall.
