Water main leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The single most common location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become damaged. Our technicians conduct a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We discover underground water leaks by firstly determining which pipes are under the ground. Our non invasive leak detection system is used to track the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks often occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include degraded pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our experts identify leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection technologies including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from slow water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall.
