Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water mains. The most typical location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become faulty. Our specialists do a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We identify underground water leaks by firstly evaluating which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection method is used to track the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks often happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our experts pinpoint leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or neglected maintenance.
