Underground Leak Detection in Midsomer Norton , Bath and North East Somerset

Underground leaks in your external water main or sub-floor pipework are not always obvious. Often, the water escapes silently into the surrounding soil or foundations. It is important to look out for key warning signs before the situation escalates into an emergency burst pipe repair scenario.Spinning water meter: If your internal stopcock is fully closed but your meter is still turning, you likely have a leak on your mains water supply.Loss of water pressure: A significant, sudden drop in pressure across your taps and showers is a strong indicator of a hidden leak.Unexplained damp patches: Localised muddy spots in your garden, or damp patches on your ground-floor walls, often point to a compromised pipe.During the colder months, winter frozen pipes are particularly vulnerable to cracking. If you suspect an issue, getting a professional assessment early can save you from costly structural repairs.
