Water Mains Leak Detection Bracknell - Specialist Leak Detection Experts

Signs of a Water Mains Leak On Your Property

Water mains leaks outside of your property can be sneaky. They’re hidden underground, making them harder to spot than leaks inside your home. But don’t worry, there are signs you can watch out for. If you notice any of these indicators, there’s a good chance you have a water main leak. And the more signs you see, the bigger the leak may be. It’s important to take action because the longer you ignore a leak, the more damage it can do to your property and your wallet.

Low Water Pressure

If you suddenly find yourself experiencing a delightful decrease in water pressure on your property, with no one else to blame for running a pesky tap in another room, then rejoice! This delightful occurrence may just be an indication that you have a charming water mains leak. Now, don't fret, my dear friend, for there is a rule to follow in such cases. The larger the drop in water pressure, the larger the leak may be, as it cheekily draws water away from other places. To put your mind at ease, it would be a jolly good idea to have a friendly chat with your neighbors. Inquire if they, too, are experiencing a loss in pressure. This will help you determine if the issue lies solely within your lovely abode or if the local area is also partaking in this water pressure merriment. Keep calm and carry on, my friend!

High Water Bill

If you happen to get your water bill and it's way higher than what you're used to, without any other factors like extra people in your home taking long showers or filling up a massive swimming pool, then chances are there's a sneaky little water leak somewhere on your property. It's important to note that every single drop of water you use gets closely monitored and charged to you. Normally, water bills tend to stay pretty consistent, so if yours is giving you a shock, it's time to call in the experts at ADI Leak Detection. They'll hunt down that pesky leak and save you from any further surprises. Trust the pros and let them do their leak-finding magic!

Discoloured Water

If you turn on your tap and are greeted with the sight of discolored water, it's possible that you're facing a leaking water main pipe. A cracked pipe can allow debris and soil to enter, contaminating your water supply. It's crucial not to drink this water as you can't be certain of what has seeped into it and it may be harmful. Instead, let's focus on resolving this issue promptly, ensuring your supply returns to normal with safe and clean drinking water. At ADI Leak Detection, we are dedicated to locating the source of the leak and repairing it on the very same day.

Water Puddling On The Surface

Water pooling on your lawn, patio, or driveway when it hasn't rained is a clear indication of an underground water mains leak. The soil becomes saturated, unable to absorb any more water, causing it to seep up into your garden. If you spot unexplained puddles outside your home, it's crucial to seek the assistance of an expert to diagnose and promptly fix the issue. Puddling water is often the most noticeable sign of a leaking water main.

Mouldy or mossy areas

If you notice that your lawn suddenly becomes lush and vibrant during a dry spell, or if you see patches of mold, moss, or soggy areas, there's a good chance that the water mains pipe buried beneath your property has sprung a leak. Surprisingly, your lawn is actually benefiting from the extra moisture it's receiving. While this may seem like a positive for garden enthusiasts, it's important to understand that a burst or leaking water main can cause significant damage to your property. If left untreated, the problem can become even more costly.

Running water or bubbling sounds

Water is constantly flowing through the pipes of your water main, but usually, the sounds it makes are muffled by the system. However, if there's a leak, you might just catch a hint of the water running through. It could be a gentle bubbling noise, as the water seeps out of a crack in the pipe. Or perhaps a whimsical whistle, a delicate hiss, or even a playful spray. No matter what kind of watery symphony you're treated to, it's crucial to get it checked out promptly because a leak is never a welcome guest.

If You Suspect An Underground Water Mains Leak at your property - Take Action Quickly

Has your water bill skyrocketed recently without using significantly extra water? Have specific areas of your garden become soggy? There is a very strong likelihood that you have an underground water mains leak, which needs to be resolved as a matter of urgency with leak detection equipment and experts.

When Is A Water Mains Leak At Your Home Not The Responsibility of a Water Company?

Many individuals mistakenly believe that if there is a leak in the mains water, it is the responsibility of the water supply company to fix it. Unfortunately, any leaks in the pipework within your property or its boundaries fall under the homeowner’s jurisdiction, regardless of whether the leak originates from the water mains. Another cause for concern with mains water leaks is the high water pressure and the large volume of water that can escape in a relatively short period. This can result in significantly more water loss compared to a typical household leak. However, detecting these leaks can be challenging as they may be deep underground. Often, people only become aware of the issue when they notice a sudden and drastic increase in their water bill. But fear not, our mains detection and repair service is here to assist you.

Leak Correlation

Leak correlation detectors are super cool electronic devices that help find leaks in pressurized pipes, even when we don't know exactly where the leaks are. These detectors use two or more super sensitive sensors that are strategically placed on the pipe, right next to where we think the leak might be. These sensors are like little ears that can hear the sounds made by the escaping fluids. The data picked up by the sensors is then sent to a processing unit that uses fancy math to figure out how far away the sensors are from the source of the noise.

I hope this new version of the paragraphs is easier to read, more fun, and has its own unique voice. And of course, I kept the same number of paragraphs and the nice line breaks between them. Enjoy!
