Leak Detection in Crediton and Mid Devon
Crediton sits in the Creedy valley eight miles or so from Exeter, an old market town better known as the birthplace of St Boniface than for its plumbing. The housing here runs from cottages near the red sandstone church through Victorian terraces along the High Street to modern developments on the edges of town, and each age of property hides its leaks differently.
Beyond the town itself, many of the properties around Crediton are farms and rural homes on long private supply pipes. When one of those springs a leak underground, the first sign is often a water meter that never stops turning or an unexplained wet patch in a field. We trace the run, pinpoint the failure and mark the dig spot, which beats trenching the whole length on a guess.
Our Approach: Find First, Then Fix
We never open a floor or a trench until we know what is underneath. Depending on the job we listen for the leak with ground microphones, map temperature changes with a thermal camera, or charge the pipe with tracer gas and follow it to the surface. You get the leak’s position marked to a small area, a clear explanation of what we found, and a report your insurer will accept.
