Internal Plumbing Leak Detection & Repair

Internal plumbing leaks can be difficult to locate and, if left unaddressed, cause progressive and costly damage to building fabric, finishes and contents. Water can travel considerable distances from its source before becoming visible, making accurate leak location an important step before any remedial work begins.

Sherborne Utilities provides plumbing leak detection and repair services for domestic and commercial properties across Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Devon. Whether you have a visible drip, a rising damp patch in a ceiling, unexplained wet flooring, or simply a persistent rise in water consumption, we have the skills and equipment to locate and repair the source.

We work with all types of internal plumbing pipe — copper, soldered, compression and push-fit fittings, plastic plumbing systems (MDPE, CPVC, polybutylene), chrome pipework and flexible connection hoses. Most plumbing leaks are caused by joint or fitting failure, corrosion, freeze damage or mechanical damage, and the majority can be repaired on a single visit.

Where it is necessary to access pipework within walls, floors or ceilings, we use targeted access techniques and thermal imaging to keep any opening to the minimum required — reducing the extent and cost of making-good after the repair is complete.

Our Leak Detection & Repair Process

A methodical approach to locating and fixing plumbing leaks with the minimum necessary disruption.

01

Assessment

We assess the visible evidence of the leak — wet patches, staining, dripping or running water — and form a view on the most likely location and cause of the leak.

02

Leak Location

Using thermal imaging, moisture detection equipment and careful inspection, we pinpoint the source of the leak before opening any surfaces — avoiding unnecessary damage.

03

Access & Repair

We gain access to the leaking section of pipework using the minimum necessary opening, carry out a lasting repair using appropriate materials, and test the repair thoroughly.

04

Making Good

We make good any access openings created during the repair work, leaving the area as tidy as possible. We can advise on or arrange further making-good or redecoration if required.
