Water main leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a sign of a leaking water supply line. The single most typical location of a water mains leak is outside where the water mains is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become damaged. Our professionals do a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to discover 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 defective installations. We locate underground water leaks by firstly establishing which pipes are under the ground. Our non invasive leak detection process is used to locate the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks regularly occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our technicians detect leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection techniques including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration happens where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement.
