Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a symptom of a leaking water supply line. The most frequent location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become worn. Our professionals complete a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We discover underground water leaks by initially determining which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection system is used to pinpoint the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks often develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our professionals find 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 settling of building materials, subsidence, faulty construction or neglected maintenance.
