Mains Water Leak Detection Repair Medway Kent

What Is a Mains Water Leak?

A mains water leak occurs on the pipe that supplies fresh water from the boundary of your property into your home or building. These pipes often run underground beneath:

• Driveways

• Gardens

• Paths or patios

• Roads or hard standing

Because they’re hidden, mains leaks can go unnoticed for months — sometimes years — causing ongoing water loss and potential damage beneath the surface.

Signs You May Have a Mains Water Leak

Not sure if your water main is leaking? Common warning signs include:

• Unexpectedly high water bills

• Water meter spinning when no water is being used

• Low or fluctuating water pressure

• Wet patches in gardens, driveways or paving

• Unexplained pooling water or soggy ground

• Sound of running water when taps are off

If you notice any of these, early detection is key. The longer a mains leak is left untreated, the more costly it can become.

Our Mains Water Leak Detection Process

At Leak Solve, we focus on precision without damage. Our approach is systematic, accurate and designed to avoid unnecessary excavation.

Advanced, Non-Invasive Detection Methods

We use a combination of specialist techniques to trace underground leaks, including:

• Acoustic leak detection to identify the sound of escaping water

• Pressure testing to confirm system integrity

• Tracer gas testing for hard-to-find leaks

• Correlation technology to pinpoint exact leak locations

This allows us to locate the leak accurately — often within centimetres — before any digging takes place.

Minimal Disruption, Maximum Accuracy

Unlike traditional methods that rely on guesswork, our non-destructive approach means:

• No unnecessary digging

• Reduced repair costs

• Faster resolution

• Less disruption to your property

Once the leak is located, we clearly explain the findings and next steps, so you can arrange repairs with confidence.
