Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We identify underground water leaks by initially establishing which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection method is used to pinpoint the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks frequently develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings.
