Mains Water Leak Detection
At Southern Leak Detection, we use non-destructive methods to accurately locate water leaks without causing unnecessary damage.
We understand how disruptive and costly leaks can be for homes and businesses, which is why our approach is both efficient and minimally invasive.
Using state-of-the-art equipment - including thermal imaging cameras, acoustic sensors, moisture meters, and tracer gas testing - our engineers are able to pinpoint hidden leaks quickly and precisely. By combining these advanced techniques, we trace the leak to its exact source, helping you avoid further disruption and long-term damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes we can! However, we may need to carry out minor excavation works to expose it before we repair it.
To prevent additional issues, it’s essential to thoroughly dry the affected area once the leak has been repaired. Moisture often lingers within surfaces even when it’s not visible to the eye. If the property isn't properly dried, mould and secondary damage can begin to affect the building’s interior. Beyond aesthetic deterioration, mould spores can pose serious health risks when inhaled, potentially leading to significant respiratory problems.
There are several ways to check for a potential leak in your property. One of the most common methods is to turn off the stopcock, which controls your main water supply. If your water meter continues to move after the stopcock is shut off, it’s a strong indication that a leak may be present within the property.
Stopcocks are usually located beneath the kitchen sink or, in some homes, inside the cupboard under the stairs. Another key sign to watch out for is the sudden appearance of damp patches in specific areas - often a clear visual cue that something’s wrong behind the scenes.
