FAQs
Yes. We provide specialist leak detection in South Woodford for homeowners, landlords and managing agents where high water usage, a running meter or a suspected mains water leak needs evidence-led investigation.
Yes. A high water bill or a meter that keeps running can justify testing the relevant water system even when nothing is visible. A published South Woodford investigation shows this approach applied to a reported case of high water consumption.
Depending on the property and symptoms, methods can include acoustic detection, tracer gas, thermal imaging and moisture readings. Which combination is used depends on what is accessible and what the initial evidence suggests, rather than a fixed procedure applied to every property.
Written findings can be provided to document what was tested and what the evidence showed, which can support repair planning or further decisions. Findings apply to the system and conditions tested at the time rather than guaranteeing every possible cause has been ruled out.
