  • Common Questions
    What could be the cause of my leak?
    What could be the cause of my leak?

    When it comes to reasons why you may be experiencing leaks at your property, the reasons are innumerable. Even though this is the case, a few common reasons which we see constantly propping up are erosion, bad work from former tradesmen, subsidence, and wreckage brought about from drilling after construction works.

    How will I know a leak exists?
    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.

    What signals that I might have a leak?
    What signals that I might have a leak?

    One thing about leaks is that they can’t always be seen by the naked eye. A few ways in which they can be identified are as follows:

    • patches of dampness on your walls, ceilings and floors
    • tremendously high water bills
    • failures, faults and a slow running boiler
    • subsidence of your property
    • unpleasant smells throughout your home
