🚨 Types of Leaks We Detect

DCI Leak Detection handles all types of water leaks affecting Bude properties:

Mains Water Leaks

High water bills often indicate mains leaks between the meter and property. Our mains water leak detection in Bude service locates these without extensive digging.

Central Heating Leaks

Dropping boiler pressure usually means a heating system leak. Our central heating leak detection specialists find these leaks in pipework hidden under floors or behind walls.

Underfloor Heating Issues

Modern properties and renovated buildings with underfloor heating benefit from our thermal imaging expertise, locating leaks within the screed layer quickly.

Underground Pipe Leaks

External leaks in gardens or driveways need specialist equipment. Underground water leak detection in Bude uses acoustic and tracer gas methods for accurate location.

Gas Leak Safety

We also provide gas leak inspection services for properties concerned about gas safety alongside water leaks.

🌊 Why Early Leak Detection Matters

Prevent Structural Damage

Undetected leaks cause serious structural problems. Water weakens foundations, rots timber, and damages plaster. Early detection prevents costly repairs, especially important in Bude's coastal environment.

Reduce Water Bills

Even small leaks waste thousands of litres annually. Quick detection and repair saves money on water bills while conserving this precious resource.

Avoid Mould Growth

Hidden leaks create perfect conditions for mould, affecting health and property value. Professional detection stops problems before they develop.

Insurance Compliance

Many insurers require professional leak detection reports for claims. Our comprehensive documentation supports your claim process.

For water supply issues and emergency support, South West Water provides excellent resources for leak reporting and water conservation advice.
