What to expect from hiring a water leak detector in Faringdon

Water leak detection isn’t a guessing game. It’s a skilled service using specialist tools to trace hidden leaks accurately and quickly, and it’s not just for dramatic burst pipes. Even small leaks can quietly rack up damage (and bills) over time.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Hidden pipe leaks (under floors or behind walls)
  • Ceiling leaks
  • Central heating leaks
  • Underground leak detection
  • Garden pipework leaks

Average cost of water leak detection in Faringdon

Costs range from £80 - £1,600, depending on location, severity and methods used:

  • Infrared camera: £150 - £1,000

  • Acoustic devices: £150 - £1,000

  • Tracer gas: £250 - £2,000

  • Typical UK average: £500

How long it takes

Most tests take around half a day, but this varies. If your leak’s hard to access (e.g. under concrete), it might take longer.

What's usually included

  • Visual inspection
  • Use of detection equipment
  • Written report (if requested)
  • Quote for repair or next steps

Qualifications to look for

  • Insurance (PLI) is a must
  • Ask what tools they use (not all leak detection services offer the same tech)
  • Experience with your property type is a bonus (e.g. old vs new builds)

Water leak detection in Faringdon: Homeowners vs renters

Homeowners

You’re usually responsible for finding and fixing leaks on your property, especially if it’s an internal issue. Keep hold of any documentation if you’re claiming through insurance. Your water supplier is only responsible if the leak is on the mains pipe before it reaches your property boundary.

Renters

Report the leak to your landlord or letting agent straight away. It’s their responsibility to sort the repairs, but flagging signs early helps prevent bigger damage (and hassle). If you need urgent help, always check if your tenancy agreement allows you to arrange your own emergency trades.

Emergency water leak detection in Faringdon

Spotted water pooling? Ceiling sagging? Damp coming in fast? Don’t wait; some leaks can damage floors, electrics or plasterwork in hours.

  • If you’re dealing with a potential emergency:
  • Shut off your water supply
  • Call an emergency leak detection service
  • If safe, take photos for insurance
