Mains pipe leaks can happen either externally (between the water meter/external stopcock and internal stopcock) or internally within a property (from the internal stopcock onward). Mains leaks are among the most damaging types of leaks due to the continuous loss of water under high pressure. Common symptoms of a mains leak include:

Elevated Or Increased Water Bills
Water Meter Continuously Spinning?
Confirmation Of A Leak By The Water Supplier
Receipt Of A Section 75 Notice
Constant Depletion Of Water In The Tank
Continuous Operation Of The Hot Water Pump

The positive news is that identifying mains leaks is typically the most straightforward. By employing a combination of methods, we can swiftly and accurately locate your mains leak without causing any damage to your property.

Once we locate the mains water leak, our experienced plumbers can often complete same day repairs. However, certain repairs may necessitate a follow-up visit on another day. After repairing the leak, we conduct a system retest to confirm the repair’s effectiveness and to
check for any additional leaks. Our engineers are assigned only one leak detection task per day, allowing them to continue with further leak detection if needed.
