Swimming pool leaks come from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system.

Water main leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The single most frequent location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply line is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become defective. Our experts conduct a water meter leak test to verify whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We find underground water leaks by firstly determining which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection system is used to find the location 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, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our engineers locate leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate 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 span from slight water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress occurs where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage Leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, damaged seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not under pressure so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV inspections inside the pipe. Our drainage specialist offers a complete inspection to discover the cause of the leak and is normally able to execute a repair on the same day.
