Water supply leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a symptom of a leaking water main. The most probable location of a water main leak is outside where the water mains is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become worn. Our engineers complete a water meter leak test to verify whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We detect underground water leaks by firstly assessing which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection technique is used to identify the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor 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, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our professionals identify leaks on underfloor 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, faulty construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection systems including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration happens where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, incorrect construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.
