Water mains leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water mains. The single most typical location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply line is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become faulty. Our experts do a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We find underground water leaks by initially determining which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection system is used to locate the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks regularly arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include degraded pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our experts identify leaks on underfloor 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 deferred maintenance.
