Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a warning of a leaking water mains. The single most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water mains is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become worn. Our specialists do a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We detect underground water leaks by firstly evaluating which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection approach is used to pinpoint the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks regularly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine.
