Leak Repair in Hedge End

Plumbright Southern carries out leak repair in Hedge End for dripping pipes, leaking taps, hidden leaks and damp patches. We find where the water is coming from and fix the cause, not just the mark it leaves.

How to Spot a Hidden Leak

Not every leak drips where you can see it. Watch for damp patches on walls or ceilings, a musty smell, flooring that lifts or feels soft, or a water bill that keeps going up. A quick test is to turn off every tap and check whether your water meter is still moving.

More Information

Finding the Source

Water travels along pipes and joists, so a stain on the ceiling is not always right below the leak. We trace it back by checking joints, valves, waste pipes and seals until we find the real cause. Fixing the source first stops the same patch coming back a few weeks later.

Small Drips Add Up

A dripping tap or a weeping joint might seem minor, but it can waste a lot of water over a year and slowly rot wood and plaster. Most drips come from a worn washer, cartridge or fitting, which is a simple part to replace. Fixing it early costs less than repairing water damage later.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a leak in my Hedge End home?

Turn off every tap and appliance that uses water, then read your water meter. Wait an hour without using any water and read it again. If the number has gone up, you probably have a leak somewhere. Damp patches, mould and a rising bill are other warning signs to look out for.

Can you repair a leak under the floor in Hedge End?

Yes. Leaks under floors are often on heating pipes or supply pipes. We find the area of the leak, lift the floor where needed and repair or replace the damaged pipe. We then test the system to check it holds pressure before the floor goes back down.

Should I turn off my water if I find a leak in Hedge End?

Yes, if water is escaping and you cannot stop it at a local valve under the sink or toilet. Turn the stopcock clockwise to shut it off. If the leak is on a heating pipe, turn the boiler off too. Then call us and we will arrange to come and repair it.
