Even a small leak can waste thousands of litres of water a year and cause damp, mould, and structural damage if left untreated. The challenge is often finding where the leak is coming from, especially when it is hidden behind walls or under floors.

Voltrade plumbers in Witham specialise in leak detection and repair. Our engineers use a combination of experience, thermal imaging, and moisture detection to track down the source of the leak before carrying out a permanent repair.

Common causes of leaks

The most frequent causes of leaks in Witham homes include corroded copper pipes (especially in older properties), failed joints on plastic push-fit connections, worn tap washers and cartridges, cracked or perished rubber seals on appliance connections, and damaged radiator valves or bleed points.

When to call a plumber for a leak

Call a plumber if you notice damp patches on walls or ceilings that were not there before, a drop in water pressure that cannot be explained, your water meter ticking over when no taps are running, or any visible dripping from pipes, joints, or appliances.

FAQ

What causes pipes to leak?

The most common causes are corrosion in older copper or iron pipes, frost damage to exposed pipes, failed joints from thermal expansion, physical damage from drilling or nailing, and high water pressure stressing weak points.

Can you repair a leaking pipe without replacing it?

Many leaks can be repaired with a pipe clamp, compression fitting, or soldered joint. If the surrounding pipework is heavily corroded or shows multiple weak points, section replacement is more cost-effective long term.

How long does a leak repair take?

A visible, accessible leak typically takes 30 minutes to an hour. A hidden leak requiring detection and access may take 2 to 3 hours. Major pipework repairs involving opening walls or floors can take a full day.

Do you repair radiator leaks?

Yes. Radiator leaks are usually caused by a failed valve, corroded joint, or pinhole in the radiator body. Valve and joint repairs are typically quick. A corroded radiator body usually means the radiator needs replacing.

Why is my boiler pressure dropping?

A slow pressure drop usually indicates a leak somewhere in the central heating system. This could be a radiator valve, a pipe joint, or the boiler itself. We will test the system to find the source.
