Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves with a puddle. Across the borough’s mix of Victorian terraces and newer developments, these are the warning signs our engineers are called out to investigate most often
A steady increase in your water bill with no change in usage is one of the clearest signs of a hidden leak — often in an underground supply pipe or beneath a solid floor.
Damp patches on walls or ceilings, discoloured plaster, or peeling paint in Forest Gate and East Ham's older terraces often trace back to a slow leak in wall-chased or floor pipework rather than rising damp.
A warm spot on an otherwise cool floor usually points to a leaking underfloor heating pipe or hot water supply pipe running beneath a solid floor — common in the borough's older housing stock.
A persistent trickling or hissing sound when no fixture is in use is a strong indicator of a pressurised pipe leak, often audible near a riser cupboard in flats around Stratford and Canning Town
We review the symptoms — damp patches, bill spikes, pressure loss — and identify likely pipe runs based on your property's age and layout.
A thermal camera detects temperature differences in walls and floors caused by escaping water, narrowing the search area without any opening-up work.
Acoustic listening equipment and, where needed, tracer gas pinpoint the exact leak location, even behind walls or under solid floors.
Once located, we confirm the finding with you and provide a fixed price for the repair before any further work begins.
A methodical, non-invasive process to find the exact source of a leak before any repair work begins — minimising disruption to your property.
Cost depends on the detection methods required and the complexity of your property’s pipework. All prices are confirmed before we attend — no call-out charge.

Water bill had crept up for months with no obvious cause. Thermal imaging found a leak under our Forest Gate kitchen floor within an hour — only had to lift a small section of tiling to fix it.
Damp patch appeared on the lounge wall in our East Ham terrace. The engineer used acoustic detection and traced it to a pinhole leak in a hidden pipe run — repaired the same day.
Could hear water running somewhere in the flat but couldn’t find it. Tracer gas pinpointed a leak in the riser cupboard pipework. Minimal disruption and explained every step clearly.

Not usually. Thermal imaging, acoustic listening and tracer gas are all non-invasive and locate a leak to within a small area first. Only once the leak is pinpointed do we open up flooring or plaster, and only in the confirmed location — avoiding speculative digging.
No. There is no call-out charge, no zone surcharge and no area uplift for any postcode within Newham. Our fixed prices are identical whether you're in Forest Gate or Canning Town.
Common signs include an unexplained rise in your water bill, damp patches or staining on walls and ceilings, a warm patch on an otherwise cool floor, or the sound of running water when no fixture is in use. Any of these are worth investigating with a leak detection survey.
