Stockport's older housing stock — the Victorian villas of Heaton Moor, the terraces of Edgeley, the larger homes of Bramhall — means hidden leaks behind walls or under floors are a real, recurring issue. We use non-invasive detection to find the source before recommending any repair, rather than guessing and opening up walls speculatively.
Tell us what you have noticed on our online form. Since every sign is a clue, a damp patch, a higher bill, a musty smell or running water all count.
Our engineer visits your Stockport property with detection kit. While the method varies by property, they trace the leak without digging up floors or stripping out walls.
Once we find the leak, we explain exactly where it is. Since a fixed price avoids surprises, we agree one with you before any repair starts.
We do the repair and make good the affected area. Since every home is different, we leave it looking as close as we can to how we found it.
We check the pipe is truly clear before we leave, not just that the leak has stopped. Since a hidden second leak can undo the fix, that last check matters as much as the repair itself.
We visit the property, use detection equipment to narrow down the leak's likely location, and confirm exactly where it is and what repair it needs before agreeing a fixed price for any work. Local tip: A steadily rising water bill with no change in usage can be the first sign of a hidden leak — worth checking before it causes structural damage.
The cost depends on the property and how hard the leak is to trace. Since every property is different, we confirm a fixed price for the visit before we start.
In most cases, yes. We use non-invasive methods to narrow down the leak first. Since only the needed area gets opened up, damage stays small.
We typically reach Stockport promptly, with urgent jobs first. Since a live leak can cause more damage the longer it runs, tell us in your enquiry so we can move it up the queue.
A hidden leak behind a wall or under a floor can go unnoticed for months, quietly causing damage the whole time. Here are the five signs Stockport homeowners should watch for.
