The most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become compromised.

Underground water leaks arise from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We find underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are beneath the ground.
