COMMON WARNING SIGNS
Could You Need Leak Detection?
Not every leak detection problem looks the same. These are the signs that suggest it's worth requesting professional help.
Unexplained damp
A damp patch with no obvious source above or nearby.
High water bill
An unexplained rise in usage can mean a hidden leak.
Low pressure
A steady drop in flow with no visible cause.
Musty smell
A persistent damp or musty smell in one area.
Warm floor patch
A warm spot under flooring can mean a hot pipe leak.
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON
Finding the Cause Makes Leak Detection Easier.
A symptom is rarely the whole story. Whether it's a visible fault or a problem hidden behind a wall, under a floor or inside a fitting, understanding the likely cause first helps ensure the right leak detection work is carried out — and reduces the chance of it coming back.
- Identify the likely cause
- Investigate the right area
- Plan the appropriate next steps
