Locally, this is what comes up

Leak Detection in Croydon

  • Supply pipes buried under long gardens and driveways, where a leak can stay hidden for months
  • Water bills going up with nothing visibly wrong anywhere in the house
  • Older outdoor pipework on bigger plots, some distance from the house

Leak work in Croydon splits along the same lines as the housing. In the interwar semis the supply pipe from the pavement is often old, sometimes lead or iron, and sometimes shared with the house next door, so a leak on it can concern two households at once. Inside, ground floors are usually suspended timber, which helps: the heating pipes run in the void underneath, and a leak there can be traced and reached by lifting a board or two. Kitchen extensions changed that, with pipes buried in a concrete slab where a pinhole leak shows up as a boiler that keeps losing pressure. In flats above shops near the town centre, the first sign is often water coming through the shop ceiling below, and the shop, the flat owner and the managing agent all want to know whose pipe it is. Tracing it comes before anyone starts cutting.

Questions

Questions we often get

Do you work in Croydon?

We do. Croydon falls within Croydon, covering the CR0, CR2, SE25, SW16 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.

Could I have a leak if my bill has risen but nothing is visible?

Quite easily. Where the supply pipe runs a long way underground, water can leak for months without ever surfacing, simply soaking into the soil. A meter test gives a fast answer: switch everything off, take a reading, wait an hour and read it again. Any movement means water is running somewhere.

We share a water supply pipe with next door. Who pays if it leaks?

It depends on where the leak is and what your deeds say. Where one pipe feeds both houses, the length serving only your house is usually yours, the shared length is usually a joint responsibility, and the part under the public pavement is normally the water company’s. Tracing the exact point first avoids an argument. Some water companies help replace shared lead supplies with separate ones, so it is worth asking yours.

How much will it cost?

Before an engineer starts, you are given a price for the job. Should something hidden in a wall change what is needed, we stop and discuss it with you first, instead of pressing on and sending the bill later.
