Hidden Water Leaks Found Fast Across Manchester
A hidden water leak can be incredibly stressful. Whether it's a sudden spike in your United Utilities water bill, a persistently dropping combi-boiler pressure gauge, or unexplained damp appearing on your walls or driveway, the damage can escalate quickly.
In the past, finding an underground or under-floor leak meant blindly digging trenches and ripping up floorboards until the burst pipe was found. Not anymore.
Our Non-Destructive Approach
At KM Watermains, we utilise state-of-the-art leak detection equipment. By using highly sensitive acoustic ground microphones and sound profiling technology, our engineers can pinpoint the exact location of the escaping water to within centimetres.
Because we are fully qualified WIAPS water engineers, we don't just find the leak and leave. We provide a complete Find and Fix service, carefully excavating only the immediate area required to repair the pipe, saving you thousands in unnecessary reinstatement costs.
