Spotting hidden leaks in your Chichester home

Have you noticed a persistent damp patch on the wall that won't go away, or perhaps a strange, musty smell in the hallway? It's incredibly frustrating when you know something's wrong with your plumbing but you can't see the source. In a historic city like Chichester, where many of our homes have older pipework hidden behind thick walls or under original flooring, finding a leak can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. At Sink and Drain, we specialise in tracking down these elusive problems before they turn into a major headache for your property or your wallet. Most homeowners we speak to tell us they've been worried for weeks before calling, but the sooner we find it, the less damage the water can do to your foundations.

Why Choose Our Drain Leak Detection in Emsworth, Havant & Hampshire?

Finding the source without digging up your floors

One of the biggest worries people have when they call us is the mess. You might be imagining floorboards being ripped up or your driveway being excavated just to find a tiny crack in a pipe. We do things differently. Using non-invasive technology like high-definition CCTV drain surveys, we can look right inside your pipes from the nearest manhole or access point. It's essentially like an endoscopy for your home's drainage. This "trace and access" approach means we pinpoint the exact location of the leak to the centimetre, saving you time, money, and an awful lot of unnecessary disruption. We've been helping neighbours from Fishbourne to Westhampnett solve these mysteries for years without leaving their homes in a state of chaos.

Dealing with those mysterious foul odours

Is there a smell of sewage lingering around your garden or bathroom that simply won't shift, even after a deep clean? This is often a sign of a "dry" leak—where sewer gases are escaping through a tiny gap in a joint or a cracked pipe, even if you can't see water pooling yet. Whether you're based right in the city centre near the Cross or out towards the Witterings and Selsey, we use specialised foul odour detection equipment to sniff out these problems. We don't just mask the smell; we find the structural failure or the ground movement causing it. It’s about getting your home back to feeling (and smelling) like it should, giving you one less thing to worry about when you're relaxing after work.

Why Chichester locals trust our independent team

Let’s be honest, nobody likes calling out a national drainage franchise only to find out they’ve sent a sub-contractor from three counties away who doesn't know the area. We’re genuinely local, based just down the road on Hayling Island and regularly working throughout the PO19 and PO20 postcode areas. Because we’re an independent business, our reputation in West Sussex is everything to us. We don't believe in pushy upselling or hidden "call-out fees" that surprise you when it's time to pay. You'll get a clear, honest explanation of what's happening under your feet and a straightforward price to fix it. Whether it's a minor waste pipe leak or a complex issue with your main sewer line, we’ve likely seen and fixed something similar just a few streets away from you.

Solving drainage issues across West Sussex

From the busy shops in the North Pallant to the quieter residential lanes of Lavant or Donnington, we provide a full suite of services to keep your water moving as it should. While we're experts at leak detection, we also handle everything from emergency drain unblocking and blocked toilets to soakaway clearance and gutter repairs. If you’re worried about a sudden increase in your water bills or that damp patch is getting bigger, don’t wait for it to become an expensive disaster. Give us a call at Sink and Drain today—we’re here 24/7 to help our neighbours in Chichester get things flowing smoothly again with transparent pricing and professional, friendly service.

Drainage FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our expert drain leak detection and foul odour tracing services in Hayling Island, Havant , Portsmouth & Hampshire, Emsworth, and across Hampshire.

How do you find a drain leak without digging up my patio?

+

We use a combination of high-tech tools to see what is happening underground. Our technicians rely on waterproof cameras for a CCTV drain survey, alongside pressure testing and environmentally safe dyes. This lets us find the exact location of the split pipe so we only target the broken section.

Are you responsible for my leaking pipe or is it Southern Water?

+

It depends on where the pipe is located and who uses it. Generally, you are responsible for the drains inside your property boundary that only serve your home. Once the pipe meets a public sewer or crosses the boundary to serve multiple homes, it usually becomes the responsibility of Southern Water. We can help you identify pipe ownership during our visit.

Will a leaking drain cause damp inside my house?

+

Yes, it is one of the most common causes of rising damp. If an underground pipe leaks close to your exterior walls, the brickwork absorbs the constant moisture. This water travels upwards, creating damp patches, peeling wallpaper, and a musty smell inside your living rooms.

How quickly can you get to an emergency leak in Emsworth?

+

Because we are based just down the road on Hayling Island, we can usually reach Emsworth properties within the hour for genuine emergencies. Our vans are fully stocked and ready to roll 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
