Water Leaks – FAQs

What causes water leaks in homes?

Water leaks are often caused by worn pipework, loose joints, corrosion, damaged seals, or burst pipes during colder weather. Older plumbing systems can also be more prone to leaks over time.

Can you find leaks without damaging walls or floors?

Where possible, leak detection is carried out using non-invasive methods to accurately locate the source. This helps limit disruption and avoid unnecessary damage to your property.

Is a water leak an emergency?

Some leaks require urgent attention, particularly if they’re causing flooding or structural damage. If you’re unsure, it’s best to treat the issue seriously and have it assessed by one of our emergency plumbers as soon as possible.

How much does it cost to repair a water leak?

The cost of repairing a water leak depends on the cause, location, and extent of the damage. Simple leaks may be quick to resolve, while hidden or more complex plumbing leaks can take longer to locate and repair. We assess the issue first and explain the options clearly before any work begins.
