The Hidden Danger of Undetected Leaks

Underground water leaks often remain undetected for extended periods, silently causing damage and increasing water bills. Even small leaks can waste significant amounts of water – potentially thousands of litres per week – while gradually undermining foundations, damaging landscaping, and creating costly structural issues.

When you receive a notice from Severn Trent regarding suspected leaks on your property, prompt professional leak detection is essential to avoid premium charges and prevent escalating damage. Flo Utilities provides timely, accurate leak detection services that precisely locate the source of water leaks, allowing for targeted repairs with minimal disruption.

Our Advanced Leak Detection Process

Flo Utilities invests continuously in state-of-the-art leak detection equipment and technical training, providing capabilities that small contractors simply cannot match. Our comprehensive approach includes:

• Acoustic Leak Detection: Sophisticated listening devices that can detect the unique sounds created by underground water leaks
• Thermal Imaging Technology: Advanced cameras that identify temperature differentials caused by water leakage
• Pressure Testing: Systematic evaluation of pipe sections to isolate leak locations
• Ground Penetrating Radar: Non-invasive scanning to identify underground anomalies
• Tracer Gas Methods: For particularly challenging detection scenarios
• Correlation Technology: Precise leak positioning through sound wave analysis

This multi-faceted approach allows us to locate leaks with exceptional accuracy, even in complex scenarios or when leaks are deep underground.
