Uncover home
leaks with

One drip. It might not look like much, but it all adds up.

In the last six months, over 1 billion litres have been lost to home leaks across our region. That’s enough to fill Wembley Stadium.

Leaving leaky taps, toilets, pipes and tanks, can cause damage to your home and cost you as much as £300 extra a year (Waterwise).

Now we’re working with property expert Sarah Beeny to help our customers take on leaks in their homes to save water and money.

Last year we found and fixed over 19,000 network leaks, helping us to save over 28 million litres a day over the last 3 years.

Together, we can help leave more water in our local environment.

a home leak

Once you’ve found your leak, or suspect you have one, it's important to get it sorted quickly with the help of a plumber.

While you wait for your plumber, contain the leak to prevent any further damage and make sure that the water doesn’t go to waste. Try reusing the water to care for your plants.

How to
prevent
home leaks

Play

Treat your Look & Listen test like the MOT on your home. Keeping an eye, and ear, out for leaks in your home can help prevent water loss and serious damage to your home and wallet.

With HomeServe Plumbing and Drainage Plus insurance, you can be confident that problems with your property’s pipes, drains, toilets or tanks won’t stop you in your tracks.

And if your home is going to be empty for a while, remember to turn off your internal stop tap. This can help reduce the risk of returning to any serious damage.
