What the service covers - Tank leak detection

What the service covers

Ground tanks, roof tanks, connecting supply lines and pump inlet joints all checked

  • Ground tank inspection

    Walls and base checked for cracks, seepage or external soil dampness

  • Roof tank inspection

    Roof tank body, lid seals and pipe joints checked for heat-induced cracking

  • Pressure drop test

    Tank isolated and pressure monitored to confirm leak presence and approximate rate

  • Acoustic tracing

    Listening probes locate the exact leak point on tank walls or inlet pipes

  • Pump connection check

    Transfer and pressure pump inlet and outlet joints inspected for slow weeping

  • Report and repair

    Written location report issued with same-visit repair option where accessible

Detection methods and materials used

  1. Acoustic listening device

    Picks up water escape sound through concrete or polyethylene tank walls without drilling

  2. Hydraulic pressure pump

    Fills the test section under controlled pressure; any drop confirms and sizes the leak

  3. Water-tracing dye

    Added to tank water to track seepage path and reveal where it exits on the outer face

  4. Hydraulic epoxy filler

    Applied directly into the crack to seal the leak even under active moisture conditions

Common mistakes in tank leak detection

  1. Skipping the lid seal

    Heat-cracked roof tank lid edges lose significant water yet are often missed in inspection

  2. Reading meter without isolation

    Meter reading without isolating the tank cannot distinguish tank loss from pipe leaks

  3. Painting over damp concrete

    Painting the wet outer surface hides the sign temporarily and delays proper repair

  4. Ignoring polyethylene joints

    Polyethylene tank fittings expand and contract seasonally and are a frequent leak source

What goes wrong with most plumbing.

Plumbing problems start hidden and end with breaking tiles. These three cost the most.

  1. 01

    Pipes laid in a rush

    Pipework rushed before the walls close stays hidden until it starts to leak.

  2. 02

    Leaks you cannot see

    A slow leak behind tiles shows up as damp, stains and a higher water bill.

  3. 03

    Nobody answers in an emergency

    A burst pipe at night cannot wait for a contractor who has moved on.

The solution?

Pipework, leak detection and maintenance from one licensed company.

  1. Water and drain pipes inside a wall before tiling
    Pipes laid in a rush

    First-fix plumbing by the builder

    Laid as part of the build, before the walls close.

  2. A moisture meter beside a tiled wall
    Leaks you cannot see

    Water leak detection

    We find the source first.

  3. A utility room with a new water heater and pump
    Nobody answers in an emergency

    24-hour emergency plumber

    Plus regular maintenance contracts after handover.

How it works.

  1. Call or whatsApp

    Describe the tank type and symptoms such as dropping level or external dampness

  2. Site visit booked

    Visit scheduled and detection equipment selected to match the tank type

  3. Isolation and testing

    Tank isolated, pressure test and acoustic scan run to pinpoint the leak source

  4. Findings report

    Written report issued showing exact leak location and recommended repair method

  5. Repair and handover

    Repair completed, tank returned to service and leak absence confirmed before leaving

What sets the price.

Quote varies with tank type, access conditions, number of tanks and whether repair is included

Get a quote
  1. Tank type and size

    Polyethylene and concrete tanks require different methods and inspection time

  2. Access difficulty

    Buried or confined tanks need extra equipment and more labour to inspect

  3. Number of tanks

    Inspecting both ground and roof tanks differs in scope from a single tank check

  4. Repair inclusion

    Sealing cracks or replacing fittings in the same visit adds to the overall cost

  5. Call timing

    Emergency calls outside standard working hours are priced differently from scheduled visits

Why one contractor beats four.

Every extra contractor means another schedule and another excuse. With us, one company answers for all of it.

  1. Turnkey

    Shell and finishing with one company, from footings to keys.

  2. Pay in instalments

    Construction and finishing on instalments. Ask us for the details.

  3. Engineering supervision

    Architectural drawings and engineering supervision on site.

  4. After handover

    Maintenance contracts and a 24-hour emergency plumber.

How do I know the tank is losing water and not the pipes?

The tank is isolated from all pipes and the water level read twice with no consumption in between. Any drop in level while all connections are closed points to the tank body or its direct fittings as the source.

Can the tank be inspected without fully emptying it?

Pressure testing and acoustic scanning work on a full or near-full tank. Full emptying is only needed when the technician must enter to inspect the base or apply epoxy from inside.

Why does my roof tank leak more in summer?

High temperatures expand the plastic tank body and fittings and accelerate cracking of lid edges and degradation of rubber seals. Repeated expansion and contraction weakens joint points and increases the leak rate.

Can mineral scale cause a tank to leak?

Scale does not directly cause leaks but builds up around fibreglass and concrete tank joints and hides hairline cracks. Cleaning the tank before inspection reveals cracks clearly and improves detection accuracy.

Can a leaking ground tank affect the building foundations?

Yes, continuous ground tank leakage saturates the soil beside the foundations and can weaken their bearing over time. Early detection stops the loss before moisture reaches foundation depth.
