Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a sign of a leaking water mains. The single most probable location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply line is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become compromised. Our professionals carry out a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We detect underground water leaks by firstly establishing which pipes are below the ground. Our non destructive leak detection technique is used to find the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks frequently appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our specialists detect 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 settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or lacking maintenance.
