Water supply leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The single most frequent location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply line is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become defective. Our technicians do a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We discover underground water leaks by first establishing which pipes are under the ground. Our non invasive leak detection process is used to pinpoint the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks often happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include worn pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers 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 movement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or lacking maintenance.
