Underground Water Supply Pipe Leak FAQs
Straight answers for UK homeowners — before you book a free site visit.
The most common signs are a sudden rise in your water bill, low or dropping pressure at the taps, damp patches on the lawn or driveway, the sound of running water when nothing is on, and a water meter that keeps ticking when every tap is off. Any one of these is worth investigating — a small underground leak can waste thousands of litres and undermine driveways and foundations.
In almost every case the supply pipe from the boundary stop tap into your home is the homeowner's responsibility. The water company maintains the main in the road and the communication pipe up to your boundary. If you're not sure where the leak sits, we can check during a free site visit.
We use specialist leak detection equipment rather than guesswork — acoustic listening devices to hear water escaping underground, thermal imaging, tracer gas where needed, and pressure testing to confirm the section at fault. This lets us pinpoint the leak so excavation is kept to one small, targeted area.
Yes. If the rest of the pipe is in good condition we can expose the damaged section and carry out a localised repair, usually the same day. Where the pipe is old, corroded or has failed in several places, replacement is normally the better long-term value — and we use trenchless moling to install the new pipe with minimal digging.
It depends on the pipe's age and material. A single leak on a relatively new MDPE pipe is usually worth repairing. But lead, steel or galvanised pipes that have started leaking tend to fail again elsewhere, so replacing the whole supply pipe with modern MDPE is often cheaper than repeated repairs — and it improves flow and water quality too. We'll show you both options with fixed prices so you can decide.
Most straightforward localised repairs fall in the low hundreds of pounds, while a full supply-pipe replacement is typically £1,200–£2,800 depending on length, depth, ground conditions and access. Every job starts with a free site visit and a fixed written quote, so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
We cover East Grinstead, Crawley, Horsham, Haywards Heath, Forest Row, Uckfield, Reigate, Redhill, Burgess Hill and the surrounding Sussex & Surrey area. If you're nearby, give us a call on 07894 956041.
