Find the leak first. Then fix it properly.
A damp patch on a ceiling, an unexplained jump in your water use, or the sound of running water when everything is off — leaks rarely show themselves where they actually are. We use modern detection equipment to locate leaks within walls, under floors or underground before any opening-up starts, so repairs are precise rather than exploratory.
- Water leak detection — non-invasive tracing of hidden leaks, keeping disruption and making-good to a minimum.
- Plumbing repairs — leaking joints, broken pipes and faulty fittings diagnosed and given a lasting fix.
- Water supply pipe repairs — leaks and bursts on the supply into your property repaired to restore steady pressure.
- Washing machine and appliance leaks — waste and supply connections fixed before they damage kitchen units or floors.
Why acting early matters in Edinburgh buildings
In tenements and terraced properties, a slow leak doesn't just damage your own home — it travels through floors and party walls into your neighbour's. Older buildings also hide pipework in solid-wall chases and under original floorboards, where a small weep can run unnoticed for months. Finding and fixing it early is far cheaper than repairing the water damage later.
