Local Leak Detection in Sidmouth
Sidmouth is one of East Devon’s most elegant towns, a Regency seaside resort of Georgian and Regency villas, period hotels and well-kept retirement homes lining the EX10 streets above the seafront. Many of these properties carry older plumbing runs and buried supply pipes that were never designed for today’s water pressure, so leaks tend to develop slowly and out of sight. As a Devon-based specialist, we cover Sidmouth and the wider East Devon area with same-week appointments often available, arriving with the equipment to trace the problem rather than guess at it.
The signs are usually familiar: a water bill that has crept up for no obvious reason, persistent damp on a wall or floor, a boiler that keeps losing pressure, or a patch of lawn that stays green and soft through dry spells. In older Sidmouth homes a surprising number of these turn out to be external, with the supply pipe leaking underground beneath a drive, path or garden long before water reaches the house. We pinpoint the exact spot non-invasively, so the only digging is over the leak itself, sparing your floors, walls and landscaping.
What We Find in Sidmouth
How We Find Leaks in Sidmouth
Every job starts with the least disruptive method first. We use acoustic listening equipment to hear water escaping under floors and within walls, thermal imaging to map temperature changes across heating runs and damp areas, and tracer gas to follow a leak through buried supply pipes where sound alone will not carry. Combining these techniques lets us locate the leak precisely before any access work begins, which protects the period features that make Sidmouth’s homes worth looking after.
