Water Leak Detection FAQs
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Signs include higher than normal water bills, damp patches on walls or floors, musty smells
and the sound of water running when taps are off. Your water provider may also contact you
about unusual usage.
Is leak detection invasive?
Many tests are non invasive, using meters, pressure testing and listening devices.
Once the leak is located, some access work is usually required, but targeted detection
helps limit how much the plumber needs to open up.
Can leak detection help with insurance claims?
Yes. Some policies require evidence of a leak location and cause. Plumbers can often provide
photos, basic reports or invoices that outline the work carried out, which you can submit
to your insurer if needed.
What information should I provide when posting a leak detection job?
Include the areas where you have seen signs of moisture, any recent water bills,
whether the leak is inside or outside and photos of any visible damage.
