Experience complete peace of mind with our transparent fixed pricing—such as our £85 leak repair service—and our commitment to using only WRAS-approved fittings.

How We Trace Hidden Water Leaks Without Damage

Our step-by-step water leak tracing process uses advanced, non-destructive testing technology to find hidden faults beneath floors, behind walls, or underground. Rather than tearing up floorboards, our City and Guilds qualified engineers use state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras and highly sensitive acoustic sensors to identify temperature variations and listen for the distinct sound of escaping water. For more complex issues, we employ tracer gas testing and moisture mapping to guarantee accurate results. Once the leak is identified, we offer practical, impartial advice on the best eco-friendly repair methods, often resolving the issue in a single visit.

How Do I Know If I Have A Hidden Leak?

Water leaks often go unnoticed until visible damage has occurred. Being aware of the early warning signs can save you time, stress, and costly repairs. Common indicators include:Unexplained damp spots: Patches of moisture or mould appearing on ceilings, walls, or floors.Dropping boiler pressure: If you constantly need to top up your boiler system, you may have a hidden central heating leak.Musty odours: A persistent smell of damp in specific rooms or cupboards.Unexpected bills: A sudden spike in your metered water bill suggests you are losing water somewhere on the property.If you suspect burst pipes are causing immediate flooding, do not wait. Contact our emergency plumbing team for a rapid, reassuring response.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our non-destructive leak detection and trace and access services in Lancashire and the surrounding areas.

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

+

Common signs include an unexplained increase in your water bill, a damp smell or visible mould, peeling wallpaper, or a boiler that constantly loses pressure. If you have a water meter, you can test for a leak by turning off all appliances and checking if the dial is still moving.

Is leak detection covered by my home insurance?

+

Most standard home insurance policies include "Trace and Access" cover. This usually pays for a professional like WGS Services to find the leak and provide access for the repair. We recommend checking your policy or speaking to your insurer, as we can provide the professional reports they often require to process a claim.

Will you have to dig up my floor to find the leak?

+

In almost all cases, no. Our thermal imaging and acoustic equipment allow us to find the leak through the floor or wall. We only need to create a small access point once we have found the exact location, which keeps the mess to an absolute minimum.

What is the difference between a plumber and a leak detection specialist?

+

A standard plumber might try to find a leak by looking for visible signs and potentially removing sections of wall or flooring. A specialist uses high-tech equipment to "see" through surfaces, finding the leak faster and more accurately without the need for destructive searching. At WGS Services, we offer both the specialist detection and the professional repair in one visit.

How long does it take to find a leak?

+

Most domestic leaks can be located within a few hours using our specialist tools. Once the leak is found, the repair time depends on the location and type of pipe, but we always aim to get your water back on and the area sealed up on the same day.
