Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be found anywhere on the filtration system. The most probable cause of a swimming pool leak is fractured pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include faulty filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Certified divers supply a SPATA recognised swimming pool leak detection service to discover the origin of swimming pool leaks
Water main 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 probable location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become faulty. Our engineers carry out a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by initially establishing which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection process is used to track the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks regularly develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include degraded pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our experts discover 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 settling of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect 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 span from slow water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion happens where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Identify the source of your roof leak by choosing our exceptionally professional roof leak investigation team.
Shower and bathroom leaks develop from hidden pipework inside walls, beneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink.

Our plumbing leak detection technicians detect leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-invasive leak detection equipment. Avoid further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, deteriorated seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A Drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV examinations inside the pipe. Our drainage specialist provides a comprehensive inspection to locate the cause of the leak and is usually able to perform a repair on the same day.
