How do you find a leak you can’t see?
Below you can find MML Plumbing’s experts’ advice, on how to solve your water leak issues.
How can I detect water leaks in my house?
In the majority of situations, the water pipe running into the house is regulated for a number of reasons. When you notice a leak you may want to make an appointment with a plumber asap. You are right, the sooner you fix the leak, the less damage is happening in your home.
But there is a very important thing to know when a water leak occurs:
Is it invisible, or internal? Not the same, when it comes to calling out a plumber!
If the leak is internal, the leak has to be found first. For that, you need a leak detection specialist. When calling out a plumber with no special leak detection equipment, you will end up either looking at the patchy wall together or ripping off the entire ceiling or wall to find the leak inside. That isn’t wise.
Here at MML Plumbing, we are dedicated to not causing more damage to our customers! That is why we are using special leak detection tools, which are non-destructive tools, and still finding the leak, and then moving forward to fixing it.
Call MML Plumbing Ltd’s special leak detection team on 0208 355 0840, or send us pictures from the affected area, and we will reply to info@mmlplumbing.com.
Recognising water leaks at home?
Leakage from pipes is an issue. If the problem is not corrected quickly, it can damage your residence and your health, since moisture can encourage mould development. However, you often do not notice a leak until you have already suffered thousands in damage. Therefore, you should be vigilant about it. How can I locate the source of leaking water from walls? Several water sources can be damaged or leak causing discolouration. Moulds in places where they were never found are no surprise to us. Increased water bills for no reason, are also a sign of an internal leak. When a leak is visible, then it is obvious, that your property has a leak.
How to detect a water leak outside or in the garden?
If you are unsure if there is water in the house you are unsure if the leak exists in an underground building or in an outside building. Turn down the stopper to keep water from entering your home and check the tap until no water comes. Once done, you should test the meter and see if the dial still moves if the leak is from a nearby home. If not, the leaks may exist within a pipe inside the home. If your leak is inside, start to find signs.

Common places for water leaks
If you’re unsure whether you can spot leaks or not, it’s worth looking at the culprit in your bathroom or kitchen. But you can have a leak from the boiler pipes, inside the walls, the mains, a garden tap, a radiator, and everywhere in the house as you have central heating and plumbing pipes all over the house. (Underground leaks.)
Leaks in the garden
Check for patches of greener grass
It makes sense to have a beautiful lawn if the area around it looks greener (and grows quicker than the remainder) or it indicates if there is water leakage. In extreme cases, a puddle might appear below the ground.
Appliances and Fixtures’ leaks
Ensure that the cabinets under the sink are clean when the water meters test shows leakage. ( You can have a small leak, slow leak caused by a faulty toilet tank too. ) You will also need to look for puddles around tubs or shower walls. If you find the puddle, disconnect your water supply valve ( shut off valve) and call a plumber.
What you should do if you have a water leak inside a wall?
