Leak Detection Pricing

At The Leak Hunter, we believe leak investigations should be straightforward from the very beginning. That’s why every investigation is carried out at a fixed agreed price, with no hidden charges or unexpected hourly costs.

Whether you’ve noticed damp appearing inside your property, a sudden increase in your water bill, pressure loss within your heating system or simply know that water is escaping somewhere, we’ll recommend the most appropriate investigation before we attend. Our aim is always the same – locate the source accurately while avoiding unnecessary disruption wherever possible.

Every investigation is carried out by an experienced specialist leak investigator using professional leak detection equipment selected specifically for your property and the symptoms you’re experiencing. Once the leak has been located, we’ll explain exactly what we’ve found, discuss your options and, where appropriate, carry out the necessary repairs.

What’s Included In Every Fixed Price Investigation?

Every investigation is tailored to the property and the suspected type of leak, but all of our fixed price investigations include:

• Initial discussion before attendance to understand the problem.
• Experienced specialist leak investigator.
• Professional leak detection equipment selected for the investigation.
• Non-invasive investigation wherever possible.
• Systematic testing to narrow and confirm the source of the leak.
• Clear explanation of the findings.
• Leak location identified and marked where possible.
• Advice on the most appropriate repair options.
• Insurance reports available where required.
• No hidden hourly charges or unexpected costs.

We’ll Recommend the Right Investigation

Every leak is different, which is why we don’t expect our customers to decide which investigation they need. When you contact The Leak Hunter, we’ll discuss the symptoms you’re experiencing and recommend the most appropriate fixed price investigation before any appointment is arranged.

Our recommendation is based on where the symptoms are occurring, the type of property, the plumbing system involved and the information available at the time. This ensures you’re booked for the investigation that’s most likely to identify the source of the leak quickly and accurately.

Targeted Leak Investigation (£475)

Where the symptoms appear to be affecting a specific area of the property, we’ll normally recommend our targeted leak investigation. This allows us to concentrate on the affected area while using specialist equipment to accurately identify the source before any unnecessary opening-up takes place.

Domestic Mains Water Supply Investigation (£675)

If your symptoms indicate a leak on the incoming mains water supply pipe between the water meter and your property, we’ll recommend our specialist mains water investigation. Typical signs include a water meter that continues to move when no water is being used, unexpectedly high water bills or suspected leakage on the external supply pipe.

Full Property Investigation (£795)

Where the source is completely unknown, multiple symptoms are present or the plumbing system is more complex, we’ll recommend a full property investigation. This allows us to investigate the property systematically and determine the true source of the problem before repairs are considered.

Why We Use Fixed Pricing

Many leak detection companies charge by the hour. While this may seem attractive initially, investigations can often become more expensive as additional time is required to narrow the source of a concealed leak.

At The Leak Hunter, we prefer complete transparency. Our investigations are carried out at a fixed agreed price, allowing you to make an informed decision before we attend. You’ll know exactly what the investigation costs, regardless of how challenging the diagnosis may prove to be.
