Water Leak Detection
Posted 31 March
Hidden water leak in a concrete floor.
We had a difficult to find water leak, that could be seen leaking out of the side of the house brickwork but could not be traced. Two engineers from Metro plumbing arrived with their various high tech sensors and were able to pinpoint the exact location of the leak within half an hour, it was inside a concrete floor. The concrete removed, repair carried out and new concrete laid all within 7 hours. The engineers were very knowledgable, good workers with no time wasting, friendly, and left the job site very clean. And to top it all were considerably cheaper than the other quotes.

Choosing the right contractor for underground water works matters.

Poorly completed or non-compliant works can lead to repeat leaks, failed inspections, unnecessary excavation costs, property damage, and potential insurance issues.

Before appointing a contractor, we recommend asking:

• Are they WIAPS or WaterSafe approved?

• Are their engineers trained specifically in underground water infrastructure works?

• Do they carry the correct insurance for excavation works?

• Can they provide evidence of previous underground water infrastructure projects?

• Are their works compliant with water authority regulations?

• Do they offer trenchless installation methods to minimise disruption?

At Metro Plumb North East, we pride ourselves on transparent advice, compliant workmanship, and delivering professional long-term solutions our customers can trust.

We specialise in underground water infrastructure services for domestic, commercial, and industrial properties, including leak detection, supply pipe replacement, repairs, new installations, and trenchless pipe installation.

We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with dedicated emergency response teams ready to attend urgent water supply issues quickly and minimise disruption.

Our team specialises in advanced trenchless installation methods including HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) and Moling, allowing underground pipework to be installed or replaced with significantly reduced excavation — helping protect gardens, driveways, roads, and commercial premises wherever possible.

We are proud members of WIAPS and WaterSafe, with engineers audited by Northumbrian Water and other UK water authorities to ensure works are completed safely and compliantly.

Our engineers are also BPEC, NCO and EUSR trained, registered and licensed.

Many additionally hold enhanced security vetting due to the infrastructure works we carry out within secure government environments across the UK.

Our services include:

• Underground water leak detection and tracing

• Water supply pipe repairs and replacements
