Leak Detection in Cheshire

Signs you might have a hidden leak

• A water bill that's risen noticeably without any change in your usage habits
• Damp patches on walls, ceilings, or floors that don't correspond to any obvious cause like condensation
• A musty or damp smell in a specific area, even without visible moisture
• The sound of running water audible somewhere in the property when nothing is currently in use
• Reduced water pressure throughout the property without an obvious cause

Methods we use to find leaks

• Acoustic listening equipment, which can detect the sound of water escaping through pipes, even buried or hidden ones
• Pressure testing, isolating sections of the system to identify which area is losing pressure and therefore likely contains the leak
• Visual inspection of accessible pipework, fittings, and any signs of water staining or damage
• Moisture meters, to confirm and map the extent of dampness in walls or floors, helping pinpoint the likely source

Why accurate detection matters before repair

Without proper detection, repairing a suspected leak often means opening up walls, floors, or digging in multiple locations based on guesswork, which is expensive, disruptive, and sometimes simply wrong. Accurate detection first means any necessary access work happens in exactly the right place, the first time.

What happens after we find the leak

Once located, we'll explain what we've found and the repair options available, whether that's a straightforward fix or something requiring more involved access work. We won't recommend unnecessary disruption if a simpler repair is genuinely possible once the leak's actual location is confirmed.
