Warning signs

Signs you may have a leak

Noticing one or more of these? It is worth getting it checked early — catching a leak sooner keeps repair costs and water damage down.

  • Warm spots on the floor from a hot water line leak
  • The sound of running or hissing water in the walls
  • Unexplained damp patches on floors or walls
  • A water bill that keeps creeping up
  • The water meter moving with all taps closed

Frequently asked questions

What is acoustic leak detection?
It uses highly sensitive microphones to listen for the distinctive sound water makes as it escapes a pipe under pressure. This lets us pinpoint the leak without breaking open floors or walls.
Does it work on all types of pipe?
Acoustic detection works on metal and plastic pressurised lines. We often combine it with other methods for the most accurate result on tricky jobs.
Is it really non-invasive?
Yes. The whole point of acoustic detection is to find the leak before anything is opened up, so the only area disturbed is where the confirmed repair takes place.
