The Cost of Ignoring Water Leaks

Wasted Water = Wasted Money

A dripping tap can waste 15 litres per day. A small hidden leak can waste 200+ litres daily, adding hundreds of pounds to your water bill annually.

Property Damage

Water damage to walls, floors, and ceilings can cost thousands to repair. Damp can weaken structures and require extensive remedial work.

Health Risks

Persistent damp causes mould and mildew, which can trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems, particularly in children.

DIY Leak Detection Tips

Visual Inspection

  • Check under sinks for drips or water marks
  • Look for damp patches on walls and ceilings
  • Inspect around toilets for water on the floor
  • Check radiators and pipes for drips
  • Look for pooling water in your garden
Found a Leak? While DIY detection is useful, professional leak detection finds hidden leaks that visual inspection misses. Call us for a comprehensive leak check.
