How Undetected Leaks Affect Your Property
An undetected leak is a loss of water from a pipe, fitting or appliance connection that continues without an obvious visible source. It can cause unexplained increases in water bills and may gradually reduce water pressure at taps, showers or other outlets.
Moisture behind walls, beneath floors or inside cupboards can lead to damp patches, staining, mould and deterioration of building materials. Because the source may be hidden, damage can continue even when there is no clear pool of water or dripping pipe.
Uncertainty about where a leak is located makes it harder to plan a suitable repair and can leave homeowners, landlords and tenants concerned about further damage. Professional assessment helps establish the condition and location of affected pipework before the appropriate repair or installation work is carried out.
