Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a symptom of a leaking water main. The most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply line is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become faulty. Our engineers conduct a water meter leak test to verify whether the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We discover underground water leaks by firstly assessing which pipes are below the ground. Our non destructive leak detection technique is used to find the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks regularly arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include damaged pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine.

Building leaks happen in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or lacking maintenance.
