Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a symptom of a leaking water main. The most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply pipe is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become compromised. Our experts carry out a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We locate underground water leaks by firstly evaluating which pipes are under the ground. Our non invasive leak detection process is used to identify the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks frequently develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include damaged pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our experts identify leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection technologies including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from slow water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration happens where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney.

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