Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be found anywhere on the filtration system.

Water main leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a symptom of a leaking water main. The most typical location of a water mains leak is outside where the water main is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become worn. Our technicians carry out a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We identify underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection system is used to locate the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks regularly develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our technicians pinpoint leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection systems 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 intrusion happens where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our extremely expert roof leak investigation professionals.
Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework behind walls, beneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink.

Prevent further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks happen on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, deteriorated seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurized so leak detection approaches are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drain pipe. Our drainage expert delivers a detailed inspection to locate the cause of the leak and is usually able to complete a repair on the same day.
