Leak detection
When to Call for Leak Detection
Not every leak is visible. Hidden leaks can show up as high bills, damp walls, mould smells, warm floor patches or a meter that runs when everything is closed.
Use your water meter as a clue
Close all taps and appliances, then check whether the meter continues moving. If it does, there may be water escaping somewhere in the system.
This does not reveal the exact location, but it confirms that the problem is worth investigating.
Do not open walls too early
Guessing can create extra damage. Leak detection helps narrow the likely source before cutting, drilling or lifting finishes.
The aim is to find the repair path with the least unnecessary mess.
Track patterns
Note when dampness appears, whether it follows rain, whether it is warm or cold, and which fixtures are nearby.
Those details help separate plumbing leaks from roof, waterproofing or drainage issues.
