Water mains leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a indicator of a leaking water mains. The single most common location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply line is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become faulty.

Underground water leaks develop 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 locate underground water leaks by first evaluating which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection technique is used to track the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks often arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, poor 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, wall or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or neglected maintenance.
