Water supply leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a sign of a leaking water supply line. The single most common location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply line is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become defective. Our technicians carry out a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We identify underground water leaks by firstly evaluating which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection process is used to locate the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks typically arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our specialists identify leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection techniques including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from slow water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration develops where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Pinpoint the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly professional roof leak investigation professionals.

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