The single most likely location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become damaged.

Underground water leaks stem from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We find underground water leaks by first evaluating which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection approach is used to track the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks frequently occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers find leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
