Project Overview
A Fast Response That Stopped the Damage.
The homeowner noticed a damp patch spreading across a ceiling and called Gullwick the same evening. Our emergency team traced the source to a concealed supply line, isolated the water, and had the leak sealed before it reached the floor below.
A Hidden Leak Was Quietly Causing Damage.
By the time the leak became visible, water had already been tracking along a joist for days. We located it without opening up the whole ceiling and repaired the line on the same visit.
The Challenge
- Water staining across the ceiling
- Leak hidden behind plasterboard
- Damp spreading through the wall cavity
- Risk of further structural damage
“They arrived within the hour and found the leak straight away. What could have been a very expensive repair was sorted in a single evening.”
Located, Isolated and Repaired in One Visit.
Our technician used acoustic tracing to pinpoint the break, cut a single access panel, and replaced the damaged section with new pipework.
The Solution
- Traced the leak without major access work
- Isolated and drained the affected line
- Replaced the damaged pipe section
- Pressure tested the repair before leaving
The Result
The leak was stopped the same day, the surrounding area was dried out, and the homeowner avoided a far larger ceiling repair.
