A hidden water leak can run up your bills long before it's visible. It can also damage your property over time. Because of that, our Exeter leak detection service uses non-invasive equipment to find the source accurately. That applies to a period building near the cathedral. It applies just as much to a newer estate on the city's edge.
Tell us what you've noticed, whether it's a higher water bill, damp patches, or a meter that keeps moving with everything off. Since these signs vary, we book a visit to your Exeter home to find out what's going on.
Your engineer uses sound-listening tools and, where needed, a heat camera. This finds the exact spot of the leak, since neither tool needs digging or damage to floors and walls.
Once your engineer finds the leak, they mark the exact spot and explain what they've found before any repair starts.
We agree a fixed price for the repair, then carry out the fix. Ask your engineer to confirm the leak has stopped before they finish up.
Your engineer uses acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to pinpoint the leak without unnecessary digging. Once they confirm the source, we agree a fixed price for the repair. Local tip: Older clay pipe networks in Exeter's city centre are more prone to slow, hidden leaks at pipe joints. The same goes for Heavitree. Because of that, an unexplained rise in your water bill is worth investigating early.
The cost in Exeter depends on the home and how easy it is to reach the suspected leak. Since there's no call-out fee, we agree a fixed price before we start.
Watch for a sudden rise in your water bill, damp patches on walls or floors, or a meter that keeps moving with everything off, since these are common signs in Victorian terraces, Georgian townhouses, modern apartments, university accommodation, and commercial premises.
Usually not. We use sound and heat tools to find the exact spot of the leak in Exeter homes, since that avoids needless mess before any repair work.
