Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a symptom of a leaking water mains. The most likely location of a water main leak is outside where the water mains is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become faulty. Our engineers do a water meter leak test to determine whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We locate underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection method is used to trace the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks typically arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our professionals pinpoint leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, walls 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 range of leak detection techniques including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall.
