Using the latest tracer gas technology, our specialist leak detection service finds even the smallest leaks without causing major disruption to your property – no need to rip up floors, dismantle walls, or dig up your garden. This advanced method ensures we can accurately detect leaks in underground pipes, beneath flooring, or within wall cavities, all while keeping disruption to a bare minimum.

Underground Leak Detection

Suspect an underground water leak? With Anderson & Sons, you don’t have to worry about extensive excavation.

Leaks hidden beneath your flooring can cause significant damage if not detected early. We specialise in finding underfloor leaks using advanced tracer gas technology, which allows us to locate leaks under wood, tile or other types of flooring with minimal disruption to your home. Our non-invasive detection methods ensure your flooring remains intact, and the leak is addressed swiftly and professionally. Whether you’re concerned about damp spots or suspect a slow leak, our expert team is here to help.

Finding leaks behind walls can be difficult, but with our advanced leak detection technology, we can accurately detect leaks in hard-to-reach areas without causing damage to your property. Whether it’s a slow leak behind your kitchen or bathroom wall, our system pinpoints the source quickly and efficiently.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Some of the most common questions about water leaks we get asked at Anderson & Sons.

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak in my home?

Common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp or mouldy patches on walls or ceilings, low water pressure, and a musty smell in certain areas. If you notice any of these, it’s worth having a professional inspection to confirm if there’s a leak.

What should I do if I suspect a water leak?

First, turn off the water at the main stopcock to prevent further damage. Then contact a plumber to locate the leak and discuss repair options. Act quickly – delays can lead to more extensive damage and costly repairs.

Can water leaks cause serious damage if left untreated?

Yes – untreated water leaks can lead to structural damage, mould growth and increased water bills. Over time they can weaken building materials and compromise the safety of your home. Addressing leaks early helps prevent these issues.

How can I prevent water leaks in my home?

Regular maintenance is key. Have your plumbing system inspected periodically, especially if your home has older pipes. Insulate exposed pipes in colder months to prevent freezing, and check for signs of wear in your fixtures.

What methods do Anderson & Sons use to detect hidden water leaks?

We use advanced, non-invasive tracer gas technology, which allows us to accurately pinpoint leaks without needing to disrupt your walls or floors. It works by detecting tracer gas introduced into the plumbing system, locating even the smallest leaks with precision.

Are leak detection services disruptive?

Not at all. Using our tracer gas technology, we can detect leaks without causing unnecessary damage to your home. This non-invasive approach ensures minimal disruption, locating leaks from the surface without breaking through walls or flooring.
