Water mains leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a signal of a leaking water main. The most typical location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply pipe is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become damaged. Our technicians perform a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We find underground water leaks by initially determining which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection technique is used to trace the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks commonly arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers pinpoint leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection systems including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall.
