  • Can specialist plumbers detect and repair surprise leaks?

    This depends. Some plumbers are trained to repair and install pipework and plumbing fixtures and fittings.

    Other plumbers are also trained in leak detection. Most leak detection specialists are plumbers who have gained extra qualifications.

    They will also use specialist leak detection equipment such as thermal imaging and moisture meters to identify the cause and location of a leak.

  • How much does it cost to have a leak detected?

    The average cost for leak detection in the UK can vary widely between £80 up to £1,600. This can vary depending on the area you live and the size and location of the leak.

    Find out all you need to know with our handy leak detection cost guide.

  • How do you find where a leak is coming from?

    This depends on where the water is dripping or pooling. Leaks from appliances or visible plumbing are relatively easy to locate.

    If you have water coming through your ceiling, then your flat roof or roofline is most likely the cause of the leak.

    If the location of the leak is not visible, then leak detection can be quite tricky. You will probably need to contact a leak detection specialist who may use the following equipment and methods to detect the leak’s location:

    • Thermal imaging device

    • Tracer gas

    • Acoustic survey

    • Moisture meter

    • Borescope camera

    • Salts analysis

    These are all specialist leak detection methods that will need to be done by a trained professional.

  • Where is the most common place for a water leak?

    Leaks can occur anywhere where water is present both inside and from outside the home. Some of the most common places for a water leak are:

    • Taps

    • Shower hoses

    • Bath, shower, and sink drainage

    • Washing machines and dishwashers

    • Flat roofs

    • Boilers

    • Radiators

    • Toilets

  • Are leak detection companies worth it?

    Yes. Although you can buy leak detection equipment and try it yourself, its accuracy can be hit and miss.

    Leak detection companies use commercial-grade leak detection equipment that is extremely accurate.

    Despite the initial cost, in the long run, using a leak detection company can save you money on the potential costs involved in repairing water leak damage.

  • How urgent is a water leak?

    This depends on the size and location of the leak. If you have a small leak that you can’t fix yourself, but you can collect the water in a container to prevent damage, then the leak is not an emergency.

    If water is leaking at force and you need to turn off the water supply at the mains, you’ll need to call an emergency plumber.

  • What happens if you ignore a leak?

    Ignoring a leak will eventually lead to property damage. Even the smallest leak will get worse over time.

    If you don’t fix a leak quickly, you could be left with substantial flooding and damage to your home.

  • How does water leak detection equipment work?

    Water detection equipment often works by monitoring the flow of water through a pipe.

    Acoustic sensors can recognise any unusual noises which may indicate a leak and help to identify its location.

  • Is it easy to find a roof leak?

    If you can safely gain access to your roof, the leak’s location should be reasonably easy to detect.

    Look for damp patches, pooling water, and any missing mortar, damaged sealant or other signs of weathering and deterioration.

    Our leaking roof repair guide provides further advice about how to address a leaking roof.
