Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water main. The most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply pipe is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become faulty. Our specialists conduct a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We locate underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection process is used to identify the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks often arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our specialists identify leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or overdue maintenance.
