Water supply leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The most frequent location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply line is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become worn. Our experts carry out a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks develop 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 find underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection process is used to track the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include degraded pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our professionals identify leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks develop in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or deferred maintenance.
