Frequently Asked Questions

❓ How accurate is this leak cost estimator?
Our calculator uses standard drip volume calculations (1ml per drip on average). Accuracy is ±10-15% depending on water pressure and drip size. For precise measurement, use your water meter before/after a 1-hour no-usage period.
❓ How do I find out my water rate?
Check your water bill — look for "charge per cubic metre" (m³). 1m³ = 1000 litres. UK average is 0.31p per litre (including wastewater). If unsure, call your water company.
❓ What's the most common hidden leak?
Toilet flapper valve leaks are the #1 hidden leak. They can waste 200-600 litres daily without visible drips — check by adding food colouring to the tank and seeing if it appears in the bowl.
❓ How can I detect a hidden leak?
Turn off all water-using appliances, check your water meter, wait 1 hour, and recheck. If it moved, you have a leak. Our plumbers use thermal imaging and acoustic detection for precise location.
❓ Does home insurance cover leak damage?
Most policies cover sudden leaks causing damage, but not gradual leaks or wear and tear. Check your policy — fixing the leak quickly prevents larger claims.
❓ Can a small drip really cost that much?
Yes! One drip per second = 86,400 drips/day ≈ 86 litres/day ≈ 31,000 litres/year. At 0.31p/litre, that's £96/year. A fast drip (2-3 per second) costs £250-£350 annually.
❓ Does pipe sizing affect leak costs?
Larger pipes under higher pressure leak much more water per minute. Our pipe flow calculator helps estimate flow rates from burst pipes of different diameters.
❓ Is this tool really free?
