The single most frequent location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply line is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become compromised.

Underground water leaks stem from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We discover underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection system is used to find the location 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, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our engineers pinpoint leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or neglected maintenance.
