Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a symptom of a leaking water mains. The single most probable location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become compromised. Our engineers perform a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We locate underground water leaks by firstly assessing which pipes are below the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection system is used to pinpoint the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks frequently arise 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 insufficient 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 deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team identify leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection systems including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from slow water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion occurs where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.

Drainage leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include damaged pipes, deteriorated seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement.
