FAQs
How can I tell if I have a hidden water leak in my Speedwell home?
Common signs include unexpectedly high water bills, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, damp or warm spots on floors or walls, mold or mildew growth, and reduced water pressure. If you notice any of these, professional leak detection can pinpoint the source before major damage occurs.
What methods do you use to locate leaks without tearing up my property?
We use non-invasive technologies such as acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and tracer gas systems. These tools let us detect leaks behind walls, under floors, or underground with minimal disruption, saving you time and repair costs.
Are leak detection services covered by my home insurance in Speedwell?
Many home insurance policies cover the cost of locating and repairing a leak if it has caused damage, but coverage varies. We can provide detailed reports and photos for your insurer, and we recommend confirming your specific policy terms with your insurance provider.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency leak in Speedwell?
We offer 24/7 emergency service across Speedwell and surrounding Bristol areas. In most cases, a technician can be on site within 1-2 hours to isolate the water supply, assess the situation, and begin leak detection immediately.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber to arrive?
Shut off your main water supply to minimise further damage. If the leak is near electrical wiring, turn off power to the affected area. Mop up standing water and move valuables or furniture away from the leak. Avoid DIY repairs that could worsen the issue—document any damage for insurance purposes instead.
How much does professional leak detection cost and why is it worth it?
Prices depend on the leak’s location and complexity, but most residential jobs in Speedwell range from £120-£350. Investing in professional detection prevents extensive property damage, skyrocketing water bills, and mould growth, ultimately saving you far more than the service cost.
