Leaks under concrete floors or within stud walls cost more to access and repair. Many Fleet properties built in the 1960s-80s have pipework running through solid floors, requiring concrete cutting and reinstatement.

Modern plastic pipes are quicker to repair with push-fit fittings. Older copper or lead pipes may need section replacement and soldered joints, increasing material and labour costs significantly.

Leaks that have caused floor or wall damage require additional trades like plasterers or carpenters. Victorian terraces around Fleet Road often have wooden floors that warp when saturated.

Repairs needed outside normal hours (evenings, weekends, bank holidays) carry premium rates. Emergency isolation work to prevent further damage is prioritised over cosmetic repairs.

If your water meter continues moving when all taps and appliances are off, you have an underground leak. These often occur where the supply pipe enters properties along Church Road and Albert Street.

Water stains on walls or ceilings that keep growing indicate an active leak behind the surface. The clay soils common in Fleet don't drain well, so external leaks often cause internal dampness.

A sudden increase in water usage without explanation usually means a hidden leak. Even small leaks can waste hundreds of litres daily, significantly increasing quarterly bills from Southern Water.

Gradual pressure loss at multiple outlets suggests a leak in the main supply pipe. If hot water pressure drops but cold remains normal, the leak is likely in the cylinder or heating pipework.
