Leak Detection in Buckfastleigh
Buckfastleigh grew up around the wool trade, and the town still carries that shape: terraces of former mill workers’ cottages near the Mardle, older stone buildings in the centre, and newer homes towards the A38. Stone-built properties with solid floors are slow to show a leak, so by the time a damp line appears the water has often been moving for weeks. Finding the source quickly is what limits the damage.
We cover Buckfastleigh, Buckfast and the surrounding TQ11 villages, along with the farms and rural properties up onto the moor, where long private supply pipes are common and a buried leak can run unnoticed until the meter reading lands.
Pinpointing Leaks Without Tearing In
Our equipment does the exploration so your floors don’t have to. We listen for the leak with acoustic gear, trace pipe runs and damp spread with a thermal camera, and use tracer gas for buried or awkward pipework. When we mark the spot, that is where the leak is.
