Water supply leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a sign of a leaking water mains. The single most common location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply line is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become worn. Our specialists carry out a water meter leak test to confirm if the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to locate 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 poor installations. We detect underground water leaks by first determining which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection process is used to locate the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks frequently occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include worn pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our specialists pinpoint leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks develop in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or insufficient maintenance.
