Water mains leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a indicator of a leaking water main. The single most probable location of a water mains leak is outside where the water mains is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become worn. Our professionals complete a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We discover underground water leaks by firstly assessing which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection method is used to pinpoint the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor 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, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our specialists identify 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, poor construction or insufficient 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 vary from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry occurs where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, insufficient maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.
