Water mains leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a indicator of a leaking water supply line. The most frequent location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become faulty. Our technicians carry out a water meter leak test to confirm if the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks arise 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 pinpoint underground water leaks by firstly evaluating which pipes are below the ground. Our non destructive leak detection method is used to find the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks commonly appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include worn pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our experts find 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, defective construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a suite of leak detection technologies including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from slow water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress occurs where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney.

Drainage Leaks happen on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, worn seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement.
