Water Mains Leak Detection Maidenhead - Specialist Leak Detection Experts

Signs of a Water Mains Leak On Your Property

Water main leaks outside your property can sometimes be difficult to spot because they are buried deep underground. But don’t worry, there are some signs you can look out for. If you notice any of these indicators, it’s likely that you have a leaking water main. And remember, the more signs you see, the larger the leak may be. It’s important to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your property and your wallet.

Low Water Pressure

If you happen to notice a sudden drop in water pressure at your property and can't find any other explanation like someone using a tap in another room, then it's highly likely that you're dealing with a water mains leak. The extent of the drop in water pressure can give you a rough idea of the size of the leak, as it tends to draw water away from other areas. To rule out any potential issues in the local area, it's a good idea to reach out to your neighbors and check if they're experiencing the same pressure loss, rather than assuming it's just a problem in your house.

High Water Bill

If you ever get your water bill and it's way more than what you're used to, and you know it's not because of any extra people or fun pool parties, then chances are there's a sneaky water leak somewhere on your property. Yep, every little drop of water that flows through your place is carefully tracked and added to your bill. Normally, your bill should stay pretty consistent. So, if it's suddenly higher than usual, it's time to call in the experts at ADI Leak Detection. They'll sniff out that leak and save you from paying for water you never even used.

Discoloured Water

If you ever turn on your tap and are greeted with the startling sight of discoloured water, don't panic! It might just mean that you have a pesky leaking water main pipe. You see, when the water main pipe is cracked, it opens up the opportunity for debris and soil to sneak inside and contaminate your precious water supply. Yikes! That's definitely not something you want to drink, as who knows what could have seeped into it. It could be potentially harmful, so it's better to be safe than sorry. The good news is, ADI Leak Detection is here to save the day! Their expert team will not only track down the source of the leak but also fix it promptly, ensuring that your water supply returns to its normal, safe, and clean state as soon as possible. Cheers to that!

Water Puddling On The Surface

Water puddling on your lawn, patio, or drive without any rain is a clear indication of an underground water mains leak. The soil becomes saturated, unable to absorb any more water, causing it to seep into your garden. If you spot mysterious water puddles outside your home, it's crucial to seek expert help promptly. Don't fret, though, as water puddling is often the most evident clue that you have a leaking water main.

Mouldy or mossy areas

If you notice that your lawn suddenly becomes lush and vibrant during a dry spell, or if certain areas become moldy, mossy, or soggy while others remain unaffected, it's likely that there's a leak in the water mains pipe buried beneath the ground. Surprisingly, this can be good news for enthusiastic gardeners, as their lawns benefit from the additional moisture. However, it's important to recognize that a burst or leaking water main can cause significant damage to your property. The longer you leave it untreated, the more expensive it can become to fix.

Running water or bubbling sounds

Water is constantly flowing through your water main pipes, but usually, you can't even hear a peep. The pipes do their job of muffling the sounds, creating a closed-off system. However, if there's a leak, oh boy, you might just become a water whisperer. Suddenly, you'll catch the bubbling melody as the water cunningly escapes through a tiny crack in the pipe. Or perhaps, you'll encounter a whistling sensation, a hissing serenade, or even a spraying symphony. No matter what watery melody reaches your ears, it's crucial to act swiftly and investigate. After all, a leakage is never a pleasant tune.

If You Suspect An Underground Water Mains Leak at your property - Take Action Quickly

Is your water bill suddenly through the roof even though you haven’t been using more water than usual? Have certain parts of your garden turned into a marshland? Well, it’s highly likely that you’ve got yourself an underground water mains leak. Don’t panic, but it’s important to get this sorted out ASAP. You’ll need some leak detection equipment and the expertise of professionals to fix this little situation.

When Is A Water Mains Leak At Your Home Not The Responsibility of a Water Company?

Many people mistakenly believe that if there is a mains water leak, the water supply company is responsible for fixing it. However, it is actually the homeowner’s responsibility to fix any pipework leaks within their property boundaries, regardless of the source of the leak. A mains water leak can be particularly concerning because of the high water pressure and the large volume of water that can leak in a short period of time. In fact, it can be even more severe than a regular water leak inside the house. Unfortunately, since the leak may be deep underground, most people only realize the issue when their water bill skyrockets. But don’t worry, our mains detection and repair service is here to assist you.

Water main supply pipes are usually buried deep underground, which can make it challenging to locate and address leaks. However, we have a clever solution – acoustic listening devices! These amazing gadgets use the power of sound to detect leaks, and they are incredibly effective. With their help, we can pinpoint the exact location of a leak within a range of up to 2.5 meters.

Leak Correlation

Leak correlation detectors are like super cool gadgets that can find leaks in pipes, even when we're not exactly sure where the leak is. They have these fancy sensors that are placed strategically on the pipe, right around where we think the leak might be. These sensors are crazy sensitive and can pick up the sound of fluids escaping.
