Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become faulty. Our specialists conduct a water meter leak test to verify whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We detect underground water leaks by first determining which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection approach is used to locate the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks typically occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include worn pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our technicians find leaks on under-floor 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 overdue 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 slow water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration develops where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage Leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include split pipes, worn seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not under pressure so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV examinations inside the drainage pipe.
