Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a sign of a leaking water mains. The most frequent location of a water main leak is outside where the water mains is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become defective. Our engineers complete a water meter leak test to confirm if the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We discover underground water leaks by initially establishing which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection technique is used to find the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks frequently develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our engineers locate 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 settlement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection technologies including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from minor water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall.
