Signs that you may have a leak

Although a burst pipe or stuck tap is causing a major leak that needs an emergency solution, in other cases you may have a leak, but it won’t be as obvious. Slow leaks are, as the name suggests, minor leaks that may remain undetected for some considerable time. Unfortunately, if left unchecked they may cause considerable structural damage to your property, as well as encourage the growth of mould.

Signs that you may have a slow leak include:

The sound of dripping water with no obvious cause
Damp spots on the walls or ceiling
A smell of damp
Wall cracks
Wet floors
Puddles outside when there’s been no rain recently
A foul odour

If you notice any of these signs, we recommend requesting our leak detection service to check what the cause of the problem is.

When is a leak an emergency?

If a pipe has burst inside the house, you can obtain temporary relief by turning the water off at the main shut-off valve (normally located at the front of the property). If a pipe has burst outside your property, you won’t be able to shut off the flow of water. In these circumstances, you are dealing with a plumbing emergency, not least because you may be billed for the water that’s pouring from the pipe (depending on where the burst has occurred – it may be your responsibility or that of the water board).

If your shut-off valve is jammed for some reason, you will also have a leak on your hands that requires emergency attention.

Even if you have managed to halt the flooding, if water has trickled through your electrics, we recommend switching off the power and, once the leak has been repaired, having the electrics checked professionally before turning the power back on.

What to expect when you call us out

Whether you call us out to deal with a leak emergency or to complete a leak detection as a scheduled job, we’ll bring everything with us to get the job done.

For slow leaks, we’ll normally take a good look around your property, as well as possibly use specialist detection techniques, such as a CCTV camera on a cable, sound detection equipment, or, in some circumstances, radar equipment.

Once we’ve identified the location and cause of the problem, we’ll discuss appropriate options to resolve the problem. We pride ourselves on excellent communication with our customers, making sure they have all the information needed to decide on what’s going to be best for their property.

We will always provide a quote before going ahead with the work.

Depending on the nature of the remediation work required, we will either carry it out then and there or arrange to revisit when convenient.

Comprehensive Leak Repairs

Our skilled local plumbers have the tools and knowledge to repair any kind of leak. As soon as we know where the leak is, we can advise you on the best plumbing repairs as well as how much it might cost to fix and whether any further damage has been caused.

Leak Detection Technology

We use a range of innovative techniques to detect leaks such as ground microphones, video pipe inspection equipment and listening discs. Our professional plumbers use the latest sound technology so we can hear the sound of water dripping or escaping and pinpoint the leak.

We can also use heat scanners in areas which are too loud or deep for sound technology to observe any potential escaping water which can cause temperature shifts. We have a range of non-invasive leak detection techniques so we can find the problem with as little disruption as possible.

Diagnosing Pipe Problems

Sometimes a leak is hard to get to, especially in older properties, commercial properties and business premises, so we will use a range of methods to make sure we find the fault. If greater accuracy is required, we can also use video pipe inspection techniques to look inside your walls.

We use tiny cameras which are mounted on fibre optic cables which send images back to a monitor. This means we can find the leak, check the condition of the pipe and plan the best strategy for repairs. We can also use thermal imaging techniques to find water pipe leaks.
