Leak Detection advice needed

[Malaynpinoy]

Hi all,
Hoping someone here can help me figure out a plumbing issue I've been dealing with. Over the past week, I've noticed a significant drop in water pressure throughout the house, especially in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom. At the same time, a damp patch has started to appear on one of the walls in the hallway, and it's gradually spreading. I've ruled out any dripping taps and checked the boiler, but everything seems fine there. I’m based in Belfast and have started looking into a leak detector in the area. A couple of providers came up with good reviews, and there's one in particular I’m leaning towards. Thought I’d post here in case anyone has any personal recommendations before I go ahead and book something. Thanks in advance.

I found breaking down my expenses into weekly categories helped a lot. Once I saw where most of my money was going, it was easier to cut back without feeling too restricted.

I had a similar issue with a burst pipe last year and couldn't find anyone available late at night. Someone on a local forum tipped me off to https://www.plumbprosc.com/plumbing-emergency/ and they actually answered right away and helped stop the flooding fast. Might be worth bookmarking just in case—you really don’t think about these things until water’s pouring down your hallway.

If you suspect a leak in your property, look out for signs like high water bills, damp spots, mold, or musty odors. Turn off all water sources and check your water meter—if it moves, there’s likely a hidden leak. Inspect toilets, faucets, appliance hoses, and under sinks for any signs of dripping or moisture. For harder-to-detect leaks, tools like moisture meters or infrared cameras can help. To prevent further damage, it's wise to hire professional Plumbing and Maintenance Services that can quickly locate and fix the issue, saving you time and costly repairs.

It sounds like you’ve got a hidden leak in the wall, which would explain both the water pressure drop and the spreading damp patch. A leak detection specialist is the right choice, and the sooner you get them in, the better, to avoid further damage or mold. Since you’re in Belfast, look for someone who uses non-invasive methods like thermal imaging so they can locate the leak without tearing open large sections of the wall. I recently dealt with a plumbing company in the Mesa, AZ area that used these techniques, and it worked great. If the company you’ve found has strong reviews, I’d go ahead and book them. Also, take photos in case you need to claim on insurance.
