Finding a Leak You Can't See

Most of the leaks we're called out for aren't the dramatic kind — they're the slow, hidden sort that show up as a rising water bill, an unexplained damp patch on a wall or ceiling, a musty smell in a cupboard, or a faint patch of mould that keeps returning no matter how often it's cleaned off. By the time any of these signs are obvious, water may already have been tracking through a floor void or behind a wall for weeks, so if your bill has crept up with no change in usage, it's worth treating that as an early warning rather than a coincidence.

Rather than lifting floorboards or cutting into plaster on a guess, we use acoustic listening equipment to pick up the sound of water escaping under pressure and thermal imaging cameras to spot the temperature differences a leak leaves behind on a wall or floor surface. Combined, these two methods let us narrow a leak down to a specific pipe run or joint before any access work begins, which usually means a single small opening rather than a length of floor pulled up on spec.

On plumber fee and cost, we quote for the detection visit and any repair separately and confirm both before we start — there's no "we'll see how it goes" pricing here. Most leak locations are pinpointed within one to three hours, and where the leak turns out to be a straightforward pipe fault, we can usually complete the repair the same day, with full photographic documentation for your insurer if the damage needs a claim.
