Water main leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water mains. The most frequent location of a water mains leak is outside where the water mains is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become damaged. Our experts carry out a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We identify underground water leaks by first establishing which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection process is used to find the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks often develop 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 inadequate maintenance routine. Our professionals identify leaks on underfloor 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 movement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection techniques including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from minor water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion happens where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney.
