Leak Detection Exeter

Some leaks are obvious. Others show up as a damp patch, a stained ceiling or a water meter that keeps turning when every tap is off. Trident Plumbers Exeter offers leak detection and repair across Exeter, finding where the water is escaping and fixing it at the source.

We check the pipework, joints, valves and appliances in the area, working from what you can see back to the fault.

Once found, the leak is repaired with new fittings or pipework, and the repair is checked before we leave.

Leaks traced to their source and repaired


Hidden Pipe Leaks

Pipes under floors, behind panels and in lofts can leak for some time before anyone notices.

Signs include damp patches, peeling paint, lifting flooring, mould and a musty smell. If you spot any of these, have the pipework checked before the damage spreads.

Trident Plumbers Exeter will explain what we found and what the repair involves, so you can plan any drying out or making good.

Honest advice on the cause and the repair

Dripping Taps and Leaking Appliances

A dripping tap wastes water every day.

A small leak behind a washing machine or dishwasher can go unseen until the floor is damaged.

Trident Plumbers Exeter replaces worn washers, cartridges and taps, and repairs or renews appliance hoses, valves and waste connections.

Fixing these leaks early saves water and protects your kitchen and bathroom floors.

Even a slow leak can soak into floorboards, plaster and joists, leading to mould, rot and costly repairs.
