Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a signal of a leaking water supply line. The single most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water main is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become worn. Our specialists complete a water meter leak test to determine whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We find underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection method is used to trace the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks commonly appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our engineers discover 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 settling of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection approaches including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from slow water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion occurs where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage leaks develop on internal and external drain pipework.
