Water main 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 mains is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become defective. Our professionals complete a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We identify underground water leaks by firstly assessing which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection method is used to trace the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks commonly appear 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 poor maintenance routine. Our experts find leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection approaches 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 penetration occurs where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Pinpoint the source of your roof leak by choosing our extremely experienced roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework behind walls, beneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink.

Avoid further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks arise on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include fractured pipes, deteriorated seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurized so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drainage pipe.
