Leak Detection in Greater Manchester
Find a hidden leak before it does real damage, without ripping the house apart.
Leak Detection in Greater Manchester
Plain English, before you spend a penny
A leak you can see is bad enough. A leak you cannot see, behind a wall, under a floor or beneath the boiler, can do real damage before you ever spot it: the damp patch, the rising water bill, the musty smell.
The goal is to find it fast and accurately, without ripping the house apart on a hunch. We point you to vetted plumbers who use proper leak detection so the fix is targeted, not destructive.
What good leak detection looks like
- Finding the leak before opening up walls or floors
- A clear explanation of the cause, not just the symptom
- A targeted repair that limits the mess
- Help with what to tell your insurer if needed
Know the signs
Signs you have a hidden leak
Damp patches or staining
On walls, ceilings or floors, especially if they keep growing or keep coming back.
A water bill creeping up
Using more water than usual with no obvious reason often means a hidden leak.
Boiler pressure keeps dropping
A system that loses pressure repeatedly is usually leaking somewhere.

Common questions
Good to know
Can a leak be found without damage?
Often, yes. Modern leak detection uses acoustic and thermal methods to pinpoint a leak before anything is opened up.
What should I do if I find a leak?
Turn off your stopcock to stop the flow, then get it looked at. Alaix can talk you through finding your stopcock.
