Common signs of a domestic water leak include unusually high water bills, damp patches on walls or ceilings, mould growth, low water pressure, or the sound of running water when taps are off. If you notice one or more of these symptoms, it’s likely you have a hidden water leak that requires professional detection.

Yes. Many water leaks occur behind walls, under floors, or underground, meaning there may be no visible signs at first. These hidden leaks often show up as increased water usage or subtle changes like musty smells or temperature differences in flooring.
Water leaks within the property and property boundary are the owners responsibility. Just because a water leak is outside the house it does not mean it will not be your responsibility to repair it. Typically the pipework between the stop cock (often found in the road) and the property and all internal pipework and fixtures is the property owners responsibility. Leapfrog leak detection services can help to detect underground water leaks for supply pipework into your property.
Yes. Even a small leak can waste thousands of litres of water over time, leading to significantly higher water bills. Many homeowners first suspect a leak after receiving an unusually high water bill.
Leak detection costs can vary depending on size of property, service required and any repairs works required. Costs may not always appear cheap but can save thousands on potential damage caused by leaks or damage caused by leak detection carried out by non-specialists who do not use non invasive technology. The good news is most Trace and access services are typically covered under home insurance with most policies covering up to £5000 in costs for trace and access. Check with your policy provider to see what level of cover you have.

Yes, unfortunately leaks outside of your property can have an adverse effect on your property. Leaking water from a Water network pipe can find its way through the ground to your property. We can help with insurance claims to this effect. We can rule out a leak within your property and also take samples to show if it is drinking water that is causing the damp in your property.
