Local Leak Detection in South Molton
South Molton is a proper working market town on the southern edge of Exmoor, with Georgian buildings around Broad Street, older cottages off it, and a wide rural hinterland of farms and village properties. That mix produces two very different kinds of leak: slow, hidden failures inside older solid-walled buildings in town, and long underground supply runs in the countryside that can leak for months before anyone notices.
We handle both. In town we trace leaks through walls and floors without opening them up; out on the farms we follow buried pipe runs across yards and fields and mark the failure point, so the digger only has one hole to make.
What We Find in South Molton
How We Find Leaks in South Molton
The method depends on the leak. Acoustic listening works well on pressurised mains and supply pipes, where escaping water makes a sound we can follow. Thermal imaging earns its keep indoors, showing the spread of a heating leak under a floor. Where a pipe is deep, plastic or quiet, tracer gas gives us a definitive answer. Whichever combination the job needs, you get a marked location and an insurance-ready report.
South Molton Leak Detection FAQs
Yes. We cover South Molton, the EX36 villages and the farms between the town and the moor. North Devon is a regular part of our week.
Yes. Long private supply pipes serving farms and rural properties are a familiar job for us in North Devon. Once past the boundary the pipework is the owner’s responsibility rather than South West Water’s, and we can locate a failure along hundreds of metres of pipe without trenching it.
We mark the position, explain what we found and put it in writing. You or your contractor then repair that one spot rather than excavating on spec, and the report supports an insurance claim where trace and access cover applies.
