Leak detection in Portsmouth

Leak detection in Portsmouth works against a high water table and very hard water. The water table can mask a leak by keeping the ground damp regardless, so we lean on thermal imaging and tracer gas alongside acoustic correlation to separate a genuine supply leak from background ground water. Portsmouth Water's hardness (290 to 330 ppm CaCO3) furs pipework city-wide, so the typical find is a pinhole or weeping joint on tired pipe rather than a clean break – and on shared-wall terraces we trace carefully to confirm which property the leak actually belongs to. Each trace ends with a written, insurance-grade report. There is no callout fee; the trace is billed at our half-hour labour rate for the time of day, and any repair is quoted in writing before work starts – see /pricing.
