Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The single most typical location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become worn. Our technicians do a water meter leak test to confirm if the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by firstly assessing which pipes are below the ground. Our non invasive leak detection technique is used to locate the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks often arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include worn pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our professionals pinpoint leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection approaches including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from slight water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration appears where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage leaks arise on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, broken seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement.
