Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a symptom of a leaking water mains. The most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water main is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become worn. Our professionals complete a water meter leak test to verify whether the leak is internal or external, then perform 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, rusted pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We locate underground water leaks by first determining which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection approach is used to find the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks typically arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our engineers identify 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 settling of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection approaches including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from slow water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration develops where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.
