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

Water supply leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a signal of a leaking water supply line. The most frequent location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply line is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become worn. Our engineers conduct a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We identify underground water leaks by first determining which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection system is used to find the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include degraded pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our specialists 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 settlement of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection systems including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from minor water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry appears where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our very professional roof leak investigation technicians.

Drainage leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include damaged pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement.
