Our process
Inspect
We check the symptoms first. As a result, we can pin down the likely blockage point before we start.
Resolve
We clear and clean the drain using the right method for the issue. Since every blockage differs, we pick the tool that suits it.
Prevent
We share practical tips to cut the risk of repeat callouts. Additionally, we explain what caused the problem in plain terms.
Leak Detection & Repair — frequently asked questions
How do you find a leak without digging up my floor?
We use sound and moisture equipment to narrow down where a leak sits. Since this happens before any invasive work, we trace the leak first. We then only lift flooring or open a wall once we're sure of the source.
My water bill has gone up but I can't see a leak — what should I check first?
Turn off every tap and appliance, then check whether your water meter is still turning. If it keeps turning, you likely have a hidden leak in the supply pipe. Since the bill will keep rising, it's worth booking a trace soon.
Do you carry out the repair as well as finding the leak?
For most leaks, yes — once we've found it, we can isolate and repair the pipe. Since some leaks sit under a slab or inside structural work, we'll explain our findings clearly. Where the fix needs a different trade, we'll point you to what's needed next.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No, Emergency Plumber In Portsmouth does not charge a call-out fee. Still, you only pay for the work completed.
