Water supply leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a symptom of a leaking water supply line. The single most typical location of a water main leak is outside where the water mains is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become damaged. Our specialists complete a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We identify underground water leaks by firstly determining which pipes are under the ground. Our non invasive leak detection method is used to track the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks regularly appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers identify 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 settlement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection approaches including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion develops where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.

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