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

Not all leaks present themselves as a dramatic burst pipe. Many of the most damaging leaks occur slowly over time, hidden away from plain sight. Knowing the early warning signs can save you from costly repairs and severe property damage.Unexpected drops in boiler pressure: If you find yourself constantly topping up your boiler, you likely have a hidden leak in your heating system.Damp patches and peeling wallpaper: Discolouration on walls or ceilings is a clear indicator of moisture ingress.Musty odours: Lingering smells often point to hidden damp and mould solutions being urgently required.Spinning water meters: If your meter is ticking up even when all taps and appliances are turned off, water is escaping somewhere.If you notice any of these signs, our emergency leak detection team is ready to investigate and secure your property.

How We Find Hidden Leaks Without Tearing Up Your Home

In the past, finding a leak often meant unnecessary and destructive excavation. At WGS Services, we utilise a modern "trace and access" approach. This means we rely on highly sensitive, non-invasive leak detection equipment to locate the exact source of the problem with minimal disruption to your daily life.Our engineers use state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras to identify temperature shifts caused by escaping hot water. We also employ acoustic leak detection microphones to listen for the precise frequency of water escaping under pressure, alongside tracer gases for complex underground pipework. By pinpointing the exact location of the fault, we ensure that any required Tyldesley leak repair work is highly targeted, saving your floors, walls, and driveway from unnecessary damage.

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.
