Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system.

Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a signal of a leaking water main. The single most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply line is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become defective. Our professionals carry out a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We find underground water leaks by first establishing which pipes are below the ground. Our non destructive leak detection approach is used to pinpoint the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include degraded pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our technicians find leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint 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 slight water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress appears where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage Leaks happen on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include fractured pipes, worn seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not pressurized so leak detection approaches are limited to CCTV investigations inside the pipe.
