Exploring Why it’s Vital to Detect Leaks in Your Home Early

As homeowners we tend to ignore those little minor leaks that appear- thinking and assuming that they’re probably harmless and won’t cause us any issues. Maybe you even have signs of a leak in your home at the moment, and you’re playing ignorant and think that it might not turn into a more serious issue. However, water leaks should never be ignored no matter how small they are. Small leaks can quickly turn into huge, major problems that can cause bigger problems in our homes, costing thousands to repair, and even causing health problems.

Here at Specialist Leak Detection we want to outline why its vital to detect leaks in your home early on. We are a leading provider of leak detection services across the south of England, providing a wide variety of leak detection services for homes and businesses. To learn more, read on and for further information on our leak detection services in Andover – visit our website.

Save Costs

One of the most important reasons to detect leaks in your home is to save costs, as small minor leaks can quickly escalate. A small leak will be a lot more affordable to repair, but if you leave the leak undetected then it can get a lot bigger which will be a lot more costly to repair. If you leave your leak undetected then it can cause serious issues and damage to your property which can cost you thousands of pounds to repair. Leaks can also cause our water bills to go up, meaning that we will be spending more money due to the pesky leak hidden in our property. So to save yourself money in the long run, its best to get your leaks checked out promptly.

Prevent Damage to your Property

Detecting leaks in your home early on, can also minimise damage. Although the small leak might not be causing you any issues at the moment, as it gets worse it can cause your home serious damage that can be unrepairable and also affect its value. Leaks can lead to damp, rot, and mould and affect the structure of our homes. It can cause cracks in our walls, odours, our walls warping and bubbling, and damage our ceilings and floors. If you leave your leak undetected, it can begin to damage your home which will be extremely costly not to mention stressful and time consuming to repair.

Ensure your Family’s Health Isn’t Affected

As well as being expensive to repair, and damaging your home, they can affect the health of you and anyone else living in your home. Water leaks can cause contamination to get into our water, which can affect the safety of this water and make it unsuitable to drink and potentially harmful. Leaks can also lead to mould and rot forming, which can cause respiratory problems, infections, allergies, asthma and also affect our immune system. Our health and the health of our families should be the most important thing to us, so to avoid any potential health issues its essential to address any potential leaks.

We realised we had a leak as the pipes hissing. Using their non intrusive leak detection they narrowed it down to under our kitchen floor. They dug in that spot and were within 20mm of where the leak was. Great service.

Absolutely horrendous customer service. We have a leak and the office manager Tim had no customer skill in how to deal with customer queries. Did not go ahead has no faith they will be able to provide customer support should we have any issues after we had paid, also don’t be fooled by the no leak no fee , it’s a scam. Please I strongly urge you to read the 1* reviews , I wish I had done that before calling as exactly my experience , I was shouted at was refused to speak the next person in charge. Please check the 1* on trust pilot before you hand over your hard earned money They tried to get my review removed from trust pilot as of course the truth is hard to swallow. But the truth always win and they were proven wrong! Folks I done my bit to raise awareness, now the choice is yours

I am leaving a review on behalf of one step ahead, Woking. We had a continuous leak from our ceiling at our salon! Numerous workers came to try and fix the leak and was unsuccessful. However, when I called specials leak detection they came out within the hour! Moe found the leak super quick and told us what it was. We got it fixed and haven’t had a leak since! I am so pleased with the business they did a fantastic job!

I found Specialist Leak Detection a very efficient and professional company to deal with. They were especially helpful and understanding when I had to re-arrange their visit. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again should the need arise.

We commend Specialist Leak Detection to the highest! Right from the initial phone call to completion of the job we felt that we were dealing with professionals. Tyler gave us a call on his way to tell us he was stuck in traffic and gave us a revised ETA. So, great communication. Upon arrival he presented himself as a friendly, caring professional, and got to work immediately. Using thermal detection equipment he located the leaking pipe under a concrete floor. With the offending problem now exposed it was agreed that he fix the issue working tirelessly until he successfully did so. A detailed report is now on the way to us to present to our insurance company. Absolutely superb service!
