Common Signs of Plumbing Leaks in Your Property
Early detection is crucial when it comes to fixing plumbing leaks in your property. Here are some common signs that you might have a plumbing leak:
- Unusually High Water Bills: An unexpected rise in your water bill without increased usage often points to a hidden water leak.
- Damp or Mould Growth: Visible damp patches, mould, or mildew on walls, ceilings, or floors suggest a possible issue that requires professional attention.
- Low Water Pressure: A sudden drop in water pressure might indicate a leak in your central heating system.
- Sound of Running Water: Hearing water when all taps are turned off can be a sign of a hidden problem within your pipes.
- Dripping Faucets: Persistent dripping from faucets or showerheads can indicate a minor issue that needs attention.
- Water Stains: Stains on ceilings, walls, or floors can be a sign of a leak in underground pipes.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to act quickly. Detecting water leaks early can prevent costly damage and reduce water wastage, ensuring the safety and efficiency of your plumbing system.
Our Plumbing Leak Detection Process
At North West Leak Detection, we employ a comprehensive approach to plumbing leak detection efficiently and accurately:
1. Initial Consultation
We begin by discussing the issues you’re experiencing to understand the potential causes of the plumbing leak. This helps us tailor our approach to your specific situation.

- Tracer Gas Testing: A safe gas is introduced into the system; specialised detectors find where it escapes, pinpointing the plumbing leak.
- Moisture Meters: Measure moisture levels in building materials to identify damp areas caused by leaks.
3. Accurate Leak Identification
Using these techniques, we can detect plumbing leaks with precision, ensuring minimal disruption to your property. Our advanced technology allows us to locate leaks quickly and efficiently.
4. Professional Repair Services
Once we’ve located the plumbing leak, our skilled technicians carry out the necessary repairs efficiently. We aim to restore your plumbing system’s integrity as quickly as possible, using high-quality materials and workmanship.
