Water leak detection: Frequently asked questions
What is leak detection and how does it work?
- Patches of damp
- Mouldy areas on walls or ceilings
- Unexplained spikes in your water bill
- A drop in water pressure
- Musty smells
How quickly can you detect a water leak?
Our experts work quickly to find leaks during the first visit. Depending on the complexity of the issue, detection can take as little as a few hours, and there are times when we are able to fix the problem during the initial visit. However, if the problem is more complex, we will highlight the recommended works in the report, as well as apply a temporary fix to stop the leak
Do you use non-invasive leak detection methods?
Will my insurance cover the cost of leak detection in the UK?
In many cases, yes, your home insurance policy in the UK may cover the cost of tracing and accessing a burst pipe or leak, and the subsequent repair of the damage it caused. However, this largely depends on your specific policy’s terms and conditions, as well as the cause of the leak.
Most standard buildings insurance policies include ‘trace and access’ cover, which pays for the cost of finding the source of a leak, even if it’s hidden behind walls or under floors. It’s crucial to check your individual policy documents or contact your insurer directly to understand your specific coverage limits and any excesses that may apply.
At Ideal Response, we can provide detailed reports and documentation that may assist you with your insurance claim, making the process smoother. We recommend contacting us as soon as you suspect a leak, and we can discuss the best approach, whether or not you plan to claim on your insurance.
Do you fix the leak after detection?
Our primary expertise lies in the accurate and non-destructive detection of leaks. Once the leak has been precisely located, our leak detection experts will provide you with a detailed report outlining the source of the leak and the recommended repair actions.
While our core service focuses on detection, we can also offer advice on the next steps for repair. Depending on the nature and complexity of the leak, we can either provide the necessary repairs ourselves or recommend trusted, qualified partners to carry out the remedial work efficiently and effectively. Our goal is to ensure your leak is not only found but also fully resolved, leaving you with peace of mind.
