At Anderson & Sons, we combine over 50 years of plumbing expertise with the most advanced technology to deliver precision water leak detection services across London. Whether you're dealing with an elusive underground leak, an underfloor issue, or a hard-to-find leak behind walls, our expert team uses cutting-edge technology to detect the leak with pinpoint accuracy without the need to damage your home.
'If you’re dealing with a hard-to-find water leak, we use specialist tracer gas leak detection equipment to locate it with precision. This involves safely charging the pipework or system with a non-toxic gas and then using a sensitive detection device—often called a "gas sniffer"—to trace exactly where the gas is escaping, which pinpoints the source of the leak.'

Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the most common questions about water leaks we get asked at C Anderson & Sons
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak in my home?
Common signs of hidden water leaks include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp or mouldy patches on walls or ceilings, low water pressure, and even a musty smell in certain areas. If you notice any of these, it’s worth having a professional inspection to confirm if there’s a leak.
What should I do if I suspect a water leak?
First, turn off the water at the main stopcock to prevent further damage. Then, contact a plumber to locate the leak and discuss options for repairs. It’s important to act quickly, as delays can lead to more extensive damage and costly repairs.
Can water leaks cause serious damage if left untreated?
Yes, untreated water leaks can lead to structural damage, mould growth, and increased water bills. Over time, they can weaken building materials and compromise the safety of your home. Addressing leaks early can help prevent these issues.
How can I prevent water leaks in my home?
Regular maintenance is key. Have your plumbing system inspected periodically, especially if your home has older pipes. Insulate exposed pipes in colder months to prevent freezing, and check for signs of wear in your plumbing fixtures. Early detection and maintenance are the best ways to prevent leaks.
What methods do Anderson & Sons use to detect hidden water leaks?
At Anderson & Sons, we use an advanced, non-invasive tracer gas technology. This technology allows us to accurately pinpoint leaks without needing to disrupt your walls or floors. It works by detecting tracer gas that’s introduced into the plumbing system, locating even the smallest leaks with precision.
Are leak detection services disruptive?
Not at all. Using our tracer gas technology, we can detect leaks without causing unnecessary damage to your home. This non-invasive approach ensures minimal disruption, as we can locate leaks from the surface without breaking through walls or flooring, making the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
