Why Leak Detection Matters in Southwark

Southwark's 19th-century sewer system is one of the oldest in London, built by Bazalgette in the 1860s. Victorian properties in Bermondsey frequently experience drain backing-up caused by the age and capacity limits of the original sewer infrastructure.

Housing stock: Victorian terraces in Bermondsey and Peckham, 1960s–70s council blocks near Elephant & Castle, and significant new-build towers on the South Bank.

Common Questions — Leak Detection in Southwark

How do you find a hidden leak in Southwark?

We use three methods in Southwark: thermal imaging (detects temperature anomalies from moisture), acoustic listening (picks up water escaping pressurised pipes), and tracer gas (pinpoints the leak to within centimetres). We choose the method based on the suspected location.

Can you find a leak without breaking up my floor in Southwark?

That is exactly the point of specialist leak detection. We locate the leak precisely using non-invasive equipment first. Only if a repair is needed do we open the floor — and we open the minimum area required.

My water bill has doubled in Southwark but I can't see a leak. What's happening?

A hidden leak on the incoming supply main between your external stopcock and your internal stop valve is the most common cause of unexplained high bills in Southwark. We can survey the supply main using acoustic detection without excavation.
