FAQs - Leak Detection in Margate

Do you guarantee to find my leak?

Not a single leak detection company can guarantee locating any leak. Nevertheless, we provide a No leak-No charge service for water mains leaks on individual properties where the mains are below 30 metres long and losing above 30 litres per hour.

Will leak detection damage my property?

No. Our non invasive leak detection methods don't damage your property. In some cases, we may need to drill a minimal 5mm hole into a cavity for camera access. Irrespective of the leak's location, minor damage could be needed to access and repair it.

Will you isolate the water during leak detection?

We generally don't need to turn off your water supply during leak investigations. But, we may need to shut off the stopcock for a short while when conducting repairs.

How long does leak detection take ?

Leak detection usually takes from a few hours to a full day or longer. The time taken to identify the leak source depends on the type of leak, its location, and the complexity of the investigation.

Will you repair my leak?

Yes. We are able to repair leaks on plumbing systems on the same day as detection, provided our engineer has enough time after identifying the leak. Repair charges apply as an extra.

Can you assist with my insurance claim?

Yes. We supply insurance-approved reports for insurance claim purposes. If your home insurance features "Trace and Access" protection, you can recover the leak detection costs.
