Common Signs of Underground Water Leaks

Recognising the early signs of an underground water leak can save you from extensive repairs and high water bills. Here are some common indicators that you might have a leaking external water pipe or an underground plumbing leak:

  • Unusually High Water Bills: An unexpected rise in your water bill without increased usage often points to a hidden underground leak.
  • Damp or Mould Growth: Visible damp patches, mould, or mildew on exterior walls, foundations, or landscaping suggest a possible leak in an underground water pipe.
  • Water Pooling in the Garden: Puddles or soggy areas in your garden can indicate a leaking external drain pipe.
  • Visible Pipe Damage: Cracks, corrosion, or bulging in external pipes are clear signs of a water main leak.
  • Falling Leaves or Grass: Areas around trees or plants that are excessively dry or damaged may be near a leaking underground water pipe.
  • Unusual Sounds: Hissing or gurgling noises from underground can indicate a leak in the external pipe.

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 property’s water supply.

Our Underground Water Leak Detection Process

At North West Leak Detection, we employ a comprehensive approach to locate leaks efficiently and accurately:

1. Initial Consultation

We begin by discussing the issues you’re experiencing to understand the potential causes of the underground water leak. This helps us tailor our approach to your specific situation.

2. Advanced Detection Techniques

Our engineers use advanced, non-destructive methods for underground water leak detection, including:

  • Underground Water Pipe Detectors: These devices detect the presence of water in underground pipes, helping us locate leaks quickly.

3. Accurate Leak Identification

Using these techniques, we can detect underground water leaks with precision, ensuring minimal disruption to your property. Our advanced technology allows us to identify problem areas quickly and efficiently.

4. Professional Repair Services

Once we’ve located the underground water leak, our skilled technicians carry out the necessary repairs efficiently. We aim to restore your water supply system’s integrity as quickly as possible, using high-quality materials and workmanship.
