Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about underground leak detection

What are the signs of an underground water leak?

Common signs include unexplained increases in water bills, damp patches in your garden, the sound of running water when no taps are open, reduced water pressure, warm spots on your floor (for hot water leaks), and visible cracks in foundations or walls. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to have your property inspected promptly.

How accurate are your underground leak detection methods?

Swift uses multiple detection technologies including acoustic sensors, thermal imaging, and tracer gas that can pinpoint leaks with accuracy to within a few centimeters. Our multi-method approach ensures we can locate even the most difficult underground leaks with minimal disruption to your property.

Will you need to dig up my property to find a leak?

Our non-invasive detection methods mean we can locate most underground leaks without any excavation. We use above-ground technologies first to pinpoint the exact location of the leak. If repairs are needed, we can then excavate only the specific area where the leak is located, minimizing disruption to your property.

How long does underground leak detection take?

Most residential leak detection surveys can be completed within 2-4 hours, depending on the size of the property and complexity of the plumbing system. Commercial properties may take longer. Once the leak is located, we provide a detailed report and can discuss repair options immediately.

Are underground leak detection services covered by insurance?

Many home insurance policies cover leak detection and subsequent repairs, especially if the leak has caused or could cause significant damage. Swift works with all major insurance companies and can help you navigate the claims process, providing all necessary documentation and evidence for your claim.

Can you detect leaks in all types of pipes?

Yes, our detection equipment works effectively on all common pipe materials including copper, PVC, MDPE, lead, and cast iron. We can detect leaks in water mains, central heating systems, underfloor heating pipes, and swimming pool pipework among others.
