Basingstoke’s mix of modern and older housing means water leaks can appear in many forms — from corroded copper pipes in 1970s homes to fractured plastic fittings in newer developments. Our engineers understand these local building types and know exactly where to look first. If you’ve noticed any of the above signs, it’s best to book a survey early before the leak causes long-term structural damage.
What to Expect
When you book with Leak Detection South, you can expect a clear, structured, and professional approach designed to minimise stress and disruption.
Assessment & Consultation – Our visit begins with a detailed discussion about your issue — water pressure drops, rising bills, or damp areas — followed by a visual inspection of likely problem points. We’ll assess the plumbing layout and isolate possible zones before testing begins.
Leak Detection & Diagnostic Testing – Using a combination of acoustic listening, thermal imaging, tracer gas, and pressure testing, we systematically locate the leak’s source. Each method is non-destructive and allows us to trace leaks through concrete, beneath floors, or behind walls without unnecessary damage.
Findings & Evidence Report – Once identified, we’ll document the results in a detailed written report including images, moisture readings, and professional repair recommendations. This document is ideal for insurance trace-and-access claims or record keeping.
Repairs & Aftercare – Where possible, we can carry out immediate repairs or arrange them through our trusted partners. We’ll also provide advice on preventing future leaks, improving system performance, and protecting your property long-term.
