Water mains leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become defective. Our engineers carry out a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We find underground water leaks by initially evaluating which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection process is used to trace 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 degraded pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our professionals find leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or overdue maintenance.
