Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The most frequent location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply line is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become compromised. Our specialists perform a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to discover 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 substandard installations. We locate underground water leaks by first identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection system is used to find the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks commonly arise 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 poor maintenance routine. Our experts find leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks develop in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection techniques including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry happens where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, poor construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Pinpoint the source of your roof leak by choosing our very skilled roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks come from hidden pipework behind walls, under the bathtub, shower tray or sink.

Drainage leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not pressurised so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage engineer carries out a full inspection to identify the cause of the leak and are often able to perform a repair on the same day.
