Leak Detection in Totnes, Done Gently
Totnes is one of Devon’s oldest towns, with a steep High Street of Elizabethan and Tudor merchant houses running down towards the River Dart. Property like that deserves respect: solid walls, original timber, lime plaster and floors nobody wants lifted. Our whole approach is built around finding leaks in exactly these conditions without destructive investigation.
We cover the whole TQ9 area, the town centre, Bridgetown across the river, and the villages between Totnes and the coast. Whether it is a heating circuit losing pressure in a listed building or a supply pipe weeping under a garden path, we pinpoint it and leave the fabric of the building alone.
Totnes Leak Detection FAQs
Yes. We work throughout Totnes, Bridgetown and the TQ9 villages, and across the wider South Hams. Wherever you are around the Dart, we can get to you.
Yes, this is exactly what non-invasive detection is for. Much of central Totnes is listed or within the conservation area, and our methods locate the leak through the existing fabric, so nothing is opened up until we know precisely where the water is escaping.
Usually, yes. If you are topping the pressure up more than occasionally, water is escaping somewhere on the heating circuit, sometimes through a pinhole no bigger than a full stop. We trace heating leaks under floors and within walls without opening them up first.
Why Non-Invasive Matters Here
In a town with as much old fabric as Totnes, exploratory demolition is the wrong tool. We use acoustic equipment to hear water escaping, thermal imaging to see where a hidden pipe is wetting or warming a wall, and tracer gas where a leak is too small or too deep to hear. The result is a precise location rather than an educated guess, and a repair you can keep small.
