Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system.

Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The single most typical 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 worn. Our experts carry out a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains, 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 first identifying which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection system is used to pinpoint the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks regularly appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our professionals detect 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, faulty construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection approaches including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from minor water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress occurs where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Find the source of your roof leak by choosing our extremely qualified roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework behind walls, under the bathtub, shower tray or sink.

Drainage Leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A Drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drainpipe. Our drainage engineer delivers a thorough inspection to pinpoint the cause of the leak and are typically able to undertake a repair on the same day.
