Leak Detection & Repair
PHC Services locates and repairs water leaks across the coverage area using specialist detection equipment. We work to minimise disruption and, where possible, carry out the repair in the same visit as the detection.
About Our Leak Detection & Repair Service
Water leaks in domestic properties can cause significant damage when they are hidden within floor voids, behind tile finishes, or within wall cavities before they become visible. Locating a leak without specialist equipment can mean unnecessary damage to finishes and structure — tracing it accurately first is almost always more cost-effective. PHC Services provides leak detection across London, with coverage extending into Essex and Hertfordshire, using equipment suited to locating water leaks in the range of property types across the coverage area — Victorian terrace floors and chimney-breast cavities, 1930s suspended ground floors, and the screed and tile finishes of newer properties. Once the source is located, we carry out the repair as part of the same visit where access and materials allow. In properties with hard water — particularly across the Essex and Hertfordshire chalk belt — leaks at copper soldered joints can develop as the scale and flux residue from original installations degrades over time. All work is fully insured.

Yes — a slow leak within a floor void, behind a wall, or at a concealed pipe joint may not be visible but can still waste a significant volume of water. Contact PHC Services and we can carry out a leak detection inspection.
Where access is straightforward and the necessary materials are available, we carry out the repair as part of the same visit. For leaks that require significant access work — lifting floors, opening walls — we agree the repair plan with you before starting.
