Finding a leak early is essential to ensuring as little damage as possible is caused to your property.
If you suspect a leak in your property, then you can perform a simple leak check by turning off your water supply and recording the water meter reading. Check the meter again after 15 minutes and see if the meter has recorded any water use. If it has then there might be a leak which will need further investigation.
Spotting a leak can often be obvious, damp patches or brown marks on ceilings, or puddles around appliances, but sometimes it may require investigating by digging up floors or making holes in walls. This would be covered under the Trace and Access section in your policy.
