Why Acting Fast Saves Your Property and Your Wallet

Ignoring the early signs of a plumbing issue often leads to much bigger problems. A slow drip under the floorboards can quickly rot timber, ruin plasterwork, and encourage unhealthy mould growth. By investing in professional damp investigation and leak detection services, you prevent extensive secondary damage. Pinpointing the exact location of the issue also means we only lift the floorboards or excavate exactly where necessary, saving you significant money on costly redecoration. Furthermore, fixing a mains water leak promptly is an eco-friendly choice that conserves valuable water and immediately stops your metered bills from rising.

How Do I Know If I Have a Hidden Plumbing Leak?

Water leaks are not always obvious. While a burst pipe is an immediate emergency, many leaks remain hidden for weeks or months. Look out for these common warning signs in your home or commercial premises:Dropping Boiler Pressure: If you frequently need to top up your boiler, you likely have central heating leaks somewhere in the system.Unexplained Water Bills: A sudden spike in your metered water usage often points to an underground mains water leak.Damp and Musty Smells: Persistent earthy odours, especially in ground-floor rooms or cupboards, are a strong indicator of trapped moisture.Visual Watermarks: Discoloured patches on ceilings, walls, or warped wooden flooring should be investigated immediately.If you notice any of these signs, call our responsive Longridge emergency plumbers on 01254 963593 for honest, professional advice.

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.
