Quick answer

Signs of a hidden plumbing leak include damp or stained patches, peeling paint, a musty smell, a water meter that moves when every tap is off, a higher water bill, or a boiler that keeps losing pressure. Call 07718 185128 and a plumber will trace the leak and repair it.

When to call

Our process

How we fix it

  1. 01

    Listen

    You tell us the symptoms: where the damp is, when it started and what has changed.

  2. 02

    Trace

    We check meters, pressure and pipe runs to narrow the leak down to a small area.

  3. 03

    Repair

    The leaking pipe, joint or fitting is repaired or replaced.

  4. 04

    Confirm

    We test the system and confirm the leak has stopped before we leave.

Why us

What you can expect

Source first

We trace the leak to its source before opening anything up, so you are not left with unnecessary holes.

Minimal disruption

Access is kept small and tidy, and we tell you exactly what reinstatement is needed.

Paperwork for insurers

We explain what we found and what we did, which helps when you make an escape-of-water claim.

FAQs

Hidden leak detection: your questions answered

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

Turn off every tap and appliance, then check your water meter. If the numbers keep moving, water is escaping somewhere. Damp patches, a rising bill and a boiler that loses pressure are other common signs.

Water is coming through my ceiling from the flat above — what do I do?

Turn off electrics near the leak, put a bucket underneath and contact your neighbour or the managing agent. If you cannot reach them, call us — we can help isolate the supply and find the source.

Will you have to take up my floor?

Not usually. We narrow the leak down before opening anything, so access is normally limited to a small, specific area. We agree it with you first.
