How will I know a leak exists?

A few different ways exist for discovering if you have a leak, and the initial test you can conduct is switching off your stop cock. This will prevent the flow of water into and throughout your property. Once you’ve done this, travel over to your water meter to see if it’s still ticking, and if so, then this may highlight a leak at your property.

It may not always be easy to locate your stop cock, so ensure you note where its positioned and never forget. For domestic residences, common areas where they can be found are below kitchen sinks or under your stairs.

Beyond this, another indicator is when damp patches are visible throughout your building.
