What are the potential causes of a leak?

It could be due to old age and the deterioration of the pipe material (wear & tear). Pipes can be affected by tree roots. They can also be liable to damage from traffic or heavy loading above them. They can be damaged accidentally, or affected by adverse weather conditions. Finally, the pipes may have been installed with inferior or non approved materials or fittings; or they may have been installed incorrectly.
