Water mains leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water supply line. The most frequent location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become defective. Our experts conduct a water meter leak test to verify whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We locate underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection technique is used to track the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks frequently develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers find leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection methods including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from slow water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion occurs where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney.
