YOUR PLUMBING QUESTION, EXPLAINED
Find the source of a leak before it causes more damage
Water leaks are not always obvious. A wet patch under a basin, a dripping compression fitting or an unexplained increase in water use may indicate a small plumbing fault. A sudden split in a supply pipe can be much more disruptive, particularly when water is reaching floors or ceilings.
What the service can involve
- Copper, plastic and push-fit pipe connections
- Accessible supply and waste pipe leaks
- Dripping taps, valves and visible joints
- Pipework damaged by frost or wear
What to check first
Look for damp cupboards, water marks, persistent drips and unusually low water pressure. If a leak is active, isolate the supply where safe. Photograph the damaged area before cleaning up if this can be done without risk.
How to arrange the right next step
Explain the pipe location, material, approximate size and whether the leaking section is accessible. A repair may involve replacing a damaged length, joint or valve after the pipework has been inspected.
Tell us where you are, describe the issue and ask about availability, attendance charges and any specialist qualifications needed for the work.
Common questions
Can a small leak wait?
Even a slow drip can damage cabinetry, plaster and flooring. Arrange an assessment rather than assuming the problem will resolve.
Do I need to open the wall?
Not every leak requires invasive work. Access depends on where the pipe is located and what can be established through inspection.
Can an old pipe be repaired?
Sometimes a local repair is suitable. Age, corrosion and the condition of neighbouring joints may make replacing a longer section sensible.
