Local Leak Detection in Barnstaple
We are a Devon-based leak detection specialist covering Barnstaple and the surrounding North Devon area. As the main town of North Devon, Barnstaple takes in everything from the historic town centre and Pilton through to the newer estates around Roundswell, plus a sweep of villages and farmsteads beyond the EX31 and EX32 postcodes. Whether you are in a Victorian terrace near the Strand or a rural property out towards the moor, we can usually offer a same-week appointment and arrive with the equipment to find your leak in a single visit.
The leaks we are called to in and around Barnstaple tend to follow a pattern: an unexplained jump in the water bill, a patch of damp spreading across a wall or floor, or a boiler that keeps losing pressure. Out in the rural fringes, many homes and farms sit on long private supply pipes that run under drives, gardens and fields, and a buried leak on one of these external pipes can waste water for months before anyone notices a soft, ever-wet patch of ground. Wherever the leak is hiding, we trace it precisely and non-invasively, so we can show you the one spot to dig rather than guessing across the whole run.
What We Find in Barnstaple
How We Find Leaks in Barnstaple
Our approach is non-invasive from start to finish. We use acoustic listening equipment to hear water escaping under floors and behind walls, thermal imaging cameras to map the temperature differences a hidden leak leaves behind, and tracer gas to follow the path of pressurised pipework where sound alone is not enough. By combining these methods we can confirm the leak’s exact position before any flooring comes up or any ground is opened, which keeps the repair small, the mess minimal and the cost down.
