Leak Detection & Repair in Banbury

Signs you need leak detection & repair help

These are common signs that you need leak detection & repair. If you spot one, act early, because small faults often grow.

• ✓ Unexplained damp patches appearing on walls, ceilings, or floors
• ✓ Your water meter shows consumption even when all taps and appliances are turned off
• ✓ A persistent musty or damp smell in a room with no obvious moisture source
• ✓ Your water pressure has dropped gradually over recent weeks or months
• ✓ Unusually high water bills that cannot be explained by increased usage

Our process

These steps show a typical visit. However, the exact method depends on what the engineer finds on site.

1. 1.
   Initial Assessment

   We discuss the symptoms you have observed, inspect visible signs of damp or water damage, and check your water meter to confirm whether an active leak is present in the supply or heating system.
2. 2.
   Non-Invasive Detection

   Using thermal imaging, acoustic detection, and moisture mapping equipment, we systematically trace the leak to its source without removing tiles, flooring, or plasterwork. The exact location is marked.
3. 3.
   Access and Repair

   We open up the minimum area necessary to access the leaking pipe or fitting and carry out a permanent repair — replacing the damaged section, resealing joints, or fitting new valves as required.
4. 4.
   Pressure Test and Reinstatement

   The repaired system is pressure-tested to confirm the leak is fully resolved. We reinstate the access area as neatly as possible and advise on any further remedial work such as replastering or redecorating.
