Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a symptom of a leaking water mains. The most likely location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply pipe is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become worn. Our experts perform a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by initially determining which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection process is used to trace the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks typically occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include damaged pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our technicians find leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection systems including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from minor water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry develops where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Locate the source of your roof leak by choosing our very experienced roof leak investigation technicians.

Prevent further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks develop on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, damaged seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not pressurised so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV inspections inside the pipe. Our drainage technician delivers a detailed inspection to identify the cause of the leak and is usually able to execute a repair on the same day.
