Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a sign of a leaking water supply line. The most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply line is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become faulty. Our professionals complete a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by firstly assessing which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection system is used to pinpoint the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks commonly arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include degraded pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our professionals identify leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or deferred maintenance.
