Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a warning of a leaking water mains. The most frequent location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become worn. Our technicians complete a water meter leak test to establish whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We detect underground water leaks by initially establishing which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection technique is used to identify the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks often happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include damaged pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our specialists 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 settlement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection approaches including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from slow water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress develops where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney.
