Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a signal of a leaking water mains. The most probable location of a water main leak is outside where the water mains is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become worn. Our engineers perform a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We find underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are under the ground. Our non invasive leak detection system is used to locate the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks commonly arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our engineers discover leaks on underfloor 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, poor construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection methods including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration appears where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include fractured pipes, deteriorated seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement.
