Leak Detection in Braybrook

What's usually behind it in Braybrook

We find a lot of Braybrook leaks where old pipes were joined to new ones during renovations, often hidden behind tiled walls.

A high water bill or a damp patch with no obvious cause usually means a hidden leak in a wall, under a slab or in the yard. We use thermal cameras, acoustic listening gear and pressure tests to pin it down before opening anything up.

Braybrook has lots of interwar brick homes and bungalows, with clay sewer pipes and mature trees that make root blockages a regular call-out.

FAQ

Leak Detection in Braybrook: common questions

Can you find a leak without breaking walls?

Usually, yes. Thermal and acoustic tools let us pinpoint the leak, so we only open the small area needed.

Will I get a report for insurance?

Yes. We can provide a written leak report with photos for your insurer.

Can I get a rebate on my water bill?

Water authorities may offer a leak allowance once the leak is repaired. Our report helps with that claim.

How do I check for a leak myself?

Turn off every tap, note the water meter reading, wait 30 minutes without using water and check again. If it moved, call us.
