Water leak detection in Alness: 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.
