Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common signs of a hidden water leak in my Threemilestone property?
Common signs include unexplained increases in water bills, damp patches on walls or ceilings, mould growth in unexpected areas, the sound of running water when all taps are off, and dropping boiler pressure. In Threemilestone properties, you might also notice water pooling in gardens or driveways, particularly after dry periods.
How long does leak detection take in a typical Threemilestone home?
Most residential leak detection surveys take between 2-6 hours depending on the property size and complexity of the leak. Larger properties or commercial buildings in Threemilestone may require additional time. We use multiple detection methods to ensure accuracy, and our over 95% success rate means we typically locate the leak within this timeframe.
What's the difference between a plumber and a leak detection specialist?
While plumbers repair visible leaks and plumbing issues, leak detection specialists use advanced non-invasive technology like thermal imaging cameras, acoustic listening devices, and tracer gas to locate hidden leaks without damage. We specialise in finding leaks behind walls, under floors, and in underground pipes – areas where traditional plumbing methods would require exploratory breaking out.
Will leak detection damage my property?
No. Our non-invasive leak detection methods mean we can locate leaks without any damage to your property. Using thermal imaging, acoustic equipment, and tracer gas technology, we pinpoint the exact leak location through walls, floors, and underground without any breaking out. You only need to open up the specific area for repair once we’ve marked the leak location.
Is leak detection covered by home insurance in Cornwall?
Most home insurance policies include ‘Trace and Access’ cover, which pays for the cost of finding and accessing a hidden water leak. Our detailed reports include photographs and findings that meet insurance requirements. We recommend checking your specific policy, but our reports are accepted by all major UK insurers.
Can a small leak really cause serious damage?
Yes. Even small leaks can cause significant structural damage over time. A leak losing just 1 drip per second wastes over 3,000 gallons per year. Hidden leaks can weaken foundations, cause timber rot, create perfect conditions for mould growth, and damage electrical systems. Early detection prevents minor leaks becoming major structural problems.
