COMMON SIGNS YOU HAVE AN UNDERGROUND WATER LEAK
You may have an underground water leak if you notice the following:
-
Unexpected increases in your water bills
-
Constant movement on your water meter
-
Low water pressure
-
Damp patches in your lawn or driveway
-
Standing water with no obvious source
-
Cracks caused by water erosion

If you've noticed any of these issues, our leak detection specialists can accurately locate the problem before carrying out the most cost-effective repair.
WHY PROFESSIONAL LEAK DETECTION MATTERS
Many underground leaks remain hidden for months, wasting thousands of litres of water and causing damage to driveways, gardens and building foundations.
Our specialist leak detection technology enables us to locate leaks quickly, reducing excavation, saving time and keeping repair costs to a minimum.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. WHAT IS THE COST OF REPLACING LEAD WATER PIPES?

Q. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING OLD LEAD WATER PIPES?
A. The homeowner is responsible for replacing any lead pipes within the boundary of their property.
Q. CAN YOU SELL A HOUSE WITH LEAD PIPES IN THE UK?
A. Yes, you can sell a house with lead pipes, but you must legally disclose their presence to potential buyers as part of regulatory requirements.
Q. IS IT WORTH CHANGING THE LEAD WATER PIPE?
A. Although it’s not a legal requirement, replacing lead pipes is recommended because long-term exposure to lead can pose health risks.
Q. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF LEAD IN DRINKING WATER?
