Local Leak Detection in Exeter
As a Devon-based leak detection specialist, we cover Exeter and the wider East Devon area with same-week appointments often available. The county capital and cathedral city is a real mix of housing, from the period and Victorian terraces of St Leonards and Heavitree, to Edwardian villas and the newer estates at Cranbrook, Pinhoe and Newcourt, and each type of property hides leaks in its own way. We know the EX postcodes well, and we work just as readily on a student let or HMO as we do on a family home or a commercial unit down by the Quay or in the city centre.
Most Exeter customers call us after spotting the tell-tale signs: a water bill that has crept up for no obvious reason, damp patches or a musty smell that will not shift, or a boiler that keeps losing pressure. A common culprit across the city is an external, buried supply-pipe leak, water escaping from the underground pipe that runs beneath a drive, path or garden, often with nothing visible at the surface. Rather than digging speculatively, we pinpoint the exact source non-invasively, so any repair is small, targeted and far less disruptive to your home.
How We Find Leaks in Exeter
We combine several non-invasive methods to locate a leak precisely before anyone lifts a floorboard. Acoustic listening equipment picks up the distinctive sound of water escaping under pressure, even through concrete or beneath a driveway. Thermal imaging reveals the temperature differences caused by escaping water and the path of warm pipes under floors. Where a leak is harder to isolate, tracer gas, a safe hydrogen-nitrogen mix, is introduced into the pipework and detected as it rises to the surface. Used together, these techniques let us identify the exact spot, so any repair work is kept to a minimum.
