Finding a hidden leak in Swansea
How to get an accurate quote in Swansea
Short answer: A hidden leak usually shows up as a damp patch, a stain on the ceiling below a bathroom, a meter that keeps turning with everything off, or a boiler that keeps losing pressure. Tell us what you have noticed, where, and for how long. Photos help a plumber judge whether the search needs special equipment or just lifting a panel.
