Leak detection in Worthing.

Southern Water delivers some of the hardest mains supply in West Sussex to Worthing addresses, at 290 to 330 ppm CaCO3, and that chronic hardness is itself a diagnostic clue: scale-blocked supply pipes running through the suspended timber floors of Victorian terraces in BN11 often mask slow pinhole leaks that only emerge as ceiling staining in the flat below or as unexplained meter drift. In the Edwardian streets of BN14, pockets of original lead pipework still in service add a second vulnerability – lead is soft, and ground movement opens hairline cracks that thermal imaging picks up long before the householder notices damp.

Our leak-detection methodology on Worthing properties combines thermal imaging cameras, acoustic correlation across the pipe run from stop tap to appliance, and – where the signal is ambiguous beneath tiled or screeded floors – inert tracer gas injection to pinpoint the breach to within a few centimetres. No destructive opening until the location is confirmed. Every investigation concludes with an insurance-grade written report detailing methodology, findings, and the precise leak location. There is no callout fee; see /pricing for fixed-rate investigation costs.
