Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The single most common location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become worn. Our experts perform a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We identify underground water leaks by firstly evaluating which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection process is used to trace the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks typically appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers locate leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection methods including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from slow water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall.

Drainage leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework.
