Underground Leak Detection in Corsham , Wiltshire

Finding an invisible leak requires precision, experience, and the right equipment. Our process is designed to locate the exact source of your water loss with minimal disruption to your grounds and property.First, we assess your mains water supply and isolate the domestic plumbing to confirm the leak is indeed underground. Next, we utilise non-invasive leak detection techniques, such as acoustic listening devices and pressure testing, to narrow down the search area. We also perform advanced pipe tracking to accurately map the route of your underground water main, which is especially useful in older Corsham properties where utility plans may be outdated. By accurately pinpointing the leak, we can perform targeted excavations rather than digging destructive exploratory trenches, saving you time, money, and unnecessary mess.

Attempting to locate a subterranean leak without professional equipment often leads to widespread property damage and escalating repair costs. Professional leak detection not only resolves the immediate stress of a high water bill but also protects the structural integrity of your home from long-term water ingress, sinkholes, and subsidence.Once we locate the issue, our team can carry out permanent water main repairs. We ensure that all replacement pipes, stopcocks, and isolation valves are fully WRAS compliant, meeting strict UK building regulations.
