Water supply leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a indicator of a leaking water mains. The single most likely location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become damaged. Our engineers do a water meter leak test to determine whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to pinpoint 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 substandard installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by first identifying which pipes are under the ground. Our non invasive leak detection method is used to pinpoint the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks commonly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our experts pinpoint 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, substandard construction or overdue maintenance.
