Care home leak advice and guides
ADI’s guides explain how to spot a hidden leak, understand a rise in water use, prepare for a leak survey and coordinate investigations across a care group. They help you take the next step with a suspected leak.
Signs of a hidden leak in a care home
The first signs of a hidden leak in a care home are often a rising water bill, a boiler that needs topping up or a damp patch that keeps returning. A few observations can make the first call to ADI more useful.
Read this guideHow to prepare a care home for a leak survey
To prepare for a leak survey, name a staff member to coordinate the visit and make sure ADI understands the occupied areas and essential services involved before the engineer arrives.
Read this guideDoes a rise in care home water use mean a leak?
Not necessarily, because care homes use water day and night, so an overnight meter reading must be read alongside normal operations before it suggests a leak.

A care group can coordinate leak investigations across several homes by using one consistent enquiry while keeping the access arrangements for each property clear. An estates team may manage similar symptoms across buildings with very different layouts, and a consistent brief makes the scope easier to compare.
