How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Common clues include damp patches, water stains on ceilings or walls, a rise in your water use, reduced pressure, dripping sounds or a central heating system that keeps losing pressure. These can have other causes, so it is worth having them assessed.
What are the most common signs of a leaking pipe?
Visible drips or wet patches around pipework, stained or bubbling paint, damp or musty smells, and moisture around floors or skirting boards are the usual signs.
Can you find a leak behind a wall or under a floor?
We investigate suspected hidden leaks and will tell you honestly what we find. Some hidden leaks can only be confirmed by opening up a small area, and we will explain this and agree it with you first.
Why does my central heating system keep losing pressure?
Repeated pressure loss can point to a leak at a radiator, valve or pipe joint, but it can also come from other causes such as a faulty expansion vessel or pressure relief valve. We inspect the system to find the likely cause.
How much does leak detection and repair cost?
It depends on where the leak is, how accessible it is and what repair is needed. We explain our findings and give you a clear quotation before any repair work begins.
Can a small water leak cause serious damage?
Yes, over time. Even a slow leak can affect walls, floors, ceilings and surrounding materials, which is why it is best to have a suspected leak looked at promptly.
What should I do if I discover a water leak?
If you can do so safely, turn off the water supply to the affected area and contain the water as best you can. If it is near electrics, keep away and switch the power off only if it is safe to do so. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you repair the leak once it has been located?
Yes. Once we have found the source and agreed the best option with you, we can carry out the repair and test the affected system where appropriate.
