From contact to coming to our home, diagnosis and having hot water again was excellent.

Coming back in a couple of weeks to change a couple of components. I would not hesitate to recommend.

I use Terrance Hughes & Sons to help maintain a property and the team has always provided quick and high quality work. Terry and Pavel are always on hand to provide me with support, including recently installing a boiler and carrying out the necessary inspections.

They complete work to a high standard, respect my tennants and focus on getting the job done. This helps me immensely because i trust them to do the work to my requirements. I highly recommend them and look forward to using their services in future.

My Aqualisa shower had not been working properly for some time. TJ Hughes fitted a new controller and diverter, and the shower now works perfectly.
Not cheap but much less expensive than Aqualisa’s repair charge, and less still than a new shower.

What Are Hidden Leaks?

Hidden leaks refer to water leaks in a plumbing system that are not immediately visible or easily detectable without special tools or techniques. 

These leaks occur in places out of sight, such as inside walls, above ceilings, under floors, or underground. 

Because they are hidden, they often go unnoticed until they cause significant damage. 

Key characteristics of hidden leaks include:

  • Location: Hidden leaks are typically found in pipes that run through walls, floors, ceilings, or under the ground. These areas are not readily accessible, making the leaks difficult to detect.
  • Detection Difficulty: Since these leaks are not visible, special equipment such as thermal imaging cameras, acoustic leak detectors and pressure testing tools are required to detect them.
  • Damage Over Time: Hidden leaks can cause considerable damage over time, such as rot in wooden structures, corrosion in metal components, and, in extreme cases, compromise the structural safety of a building.
  • Water Bill Increases: Often, the first sign of a hidden leak is an unexplained increase in the water bill. This is due to the continuous loss of water from the leak.
  • Health Concerns: The dampness caused by hidden leaks can lead to the growth of mould and mildew, which can have adverse health effects, especially for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues.
  • Water Wastage: Hidden leaks lead to water wastage, an environmental concern, especially in water shortages.

Detecting and repairing hidden leaks as early as possible is essential to prevent extensive damage and minimise repair costs and water loss. 

Regular maintenance and monitoring of the plumbing system will help early detect and prevent such leaks.

How Our Leak Detection Services Work

TM Hughes & Son’s leak detection service starts with a phone call, where you’ll chat with one of our friendly Plumbers and receive a free, no-obligation quote; you’re welcome to schedule an appointment at your convenience. 

On the day, one of our skilled Plumbers will utilise advanced methods, including thermal imaging, pressure testing, and leak detection machines, to accurately locate the leak. 

This non-invasive approach swiftly pinpoints hidden leaks without damaging your property. 

Once identified, our Plumber will provide a detailed plan and price to reach and fix the leak.
