Local Leak Detection in Okehampton
Devon Leak Detection is a Devon-based specialist covering Okehampton and the wider Mid & West Devon area. As a market town on the northern edge of Dartmoor, Okehampton is surrounded by a large rural hinterland of farms and smallholdings, and many EX20 properties sit at the end of long, privately owned supply pipes running across fields, drives and gardens. That mix of older stone-built housing in the town and isolated rural homes on private water supplies is exactly where hidden leaks tend to go unnoticed, so we make a point of arriving with the right equipment to find the fault on the first visit, and we offer same-week appointments often available throughout the area.
The problems we see most often in and around Okehampton are unexplained high water bills, damp patches creeping across walls and floors, and central heating that keeps losing pressure for no obvious reason. Out on the smallholdings and farms, the bigger culprit is the buried supply pipe: a slow leak somewhere along a long underground run beneath a drive, paddock or garden can waste thousands of litres before anyone spots it above ground. We trace these external, buried leaks non-invasively, pinpointing the exact spot so any digging is kept to the smallest possible area.
What We Find in Okehampton
How We Find Leaks in Okehampton
Every Okehampton job starts with the least invasive method that suits the property. We use acoustic listening equipment to hear water escaping from pressurised pipes, thermal imaging to map the heat signatures of hidden hot-water and heating leaks beneath floors and walls, and tracer gas to follow leaks along the long buried supply pipes that are so common on the surrounding farms and smallholdings. By combining these techniques we pinpoint the leak to within a small area before any floor is lifted or ground is opened, so the repair is targeted, disruption is kept to a minimum, and we can supply a clear report for your insurer.
