Water Leak Detection in Esher

In Esher, hidden leaks are often tied to detached houses, suburban roads off the A307 and flats close to the station, where concealed pipework and later alterations hide faults. We narrow the search before opening up, particularly in homes near Esher High Street, Claremont Landscape Garden and Sandown Park.

Esher is in Elmbridge, with a long High Street on the A307 and a good deal of detached housing on the roads around it.

Not every leak announces itself. Some show up as a stain on a ceiling, a damp patch on a wall or a floor that feels cold and soft. Others show up only on the water meter, or in the sound of water running when everything is switched off.

What it covers

  • Tracing leaks under floors and behind walls
  • Checking heating pipework for slow losses
  • Testing supply pipes for pressure drop
  • Finding the source of ceiling stains and damp patches
  • Repairing the pipe, joint or fitting once found

When to call in Esher
