Understanding Mains Water Leaks
Your property’s mains water supply runs from the street connection to your internal plumbing system. Leaks can occur anywhere along this route, often hidden underground or within walls. Unlike internal plumbing leaks, mains water leaks frequently go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred or you receive an unexpected water bill.
Common causes include ground movement, pipe corrosion, poor installation, and extreme weather conditions. If you’ve received notification that Anglian Water said you have a leak or need help understanding your Thames Water leak notification, our specialists can provide immediate assistance.
Warning Signs of Mains Water Leaks
Unexplained Water Bills
Sudden increases in water usage without changes in household consumption patterns
Wet Patches in Garden
Persistently damp or soggy areas in your garden, driveway, or near the property foundation
Low Water Pressure
Reduced water flow throughout your property, particularly affecting multiple outlets
Water Meter Running
Your water meter continues to record usage even when all taps and appliances are turned off
Unusual Sounds
Hissing, gurgling, or running water sounds near the water meter or main supply pipe
Cracked Pavements
Damage to driveways, paths, or road surfaces caused by underground water erosion
Acoustic Leak Detection
Our acoustic listening leak detection equipment can detect the sound of water escaping from pressurised mains pipes, even through several metres of soil. This non-invasive method is highly effective for locating leaks in metal and plastic pipes.
Thermal Imaging Technology
Using professional thermal imaging leak detection cameras, we can identify temperature variations caused by water leaks. This technology is particularly effective for detecting leaks near the surface or under concrete.
Tracer Gas Detection
For the most challenging leaks, our tracer gas leak detection service introduces a safe, non-toxic gas into the water system. This gas escapes at the leak point and is detected using sensitive equipment, providing exact location data.
Our 4-Step Detection Process
Initial Assessment
Comprehensive site survey and water meter analysis to confirm leak presence
Technology Deployment
Using acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging, and tracer gas for precise detection
Exact Location
Pinpointing the leak’s exact position and depth without excavation
