Leak to dry to treated, one company in Worthing

Worthing's housing stock ranges from Edwardian and Victorian terraces near the seafront and in Heene to 1930s semis in Broadwater and Durrington, plus post-war estates in Maybridge and Findon Valley. Older properties bring ageing lead and iron pipework and ill-fitting bathroom seals, while flat-roofed extensions common across these estates are prone to slow, hidden water ingress.

Common leaks in Worthing homes

Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the seafront

Streets around Heene and West Worthing hold many converted Victorian and Edwardian terraces with original cast iron soil stacks and later copper pipework hidden beneath floorboards. Salt-laden coastal air accelerates corrosion of joints and fittings, so a slow pinhole leak inside a wall or under a suspended floor can run for weeks, softening joists and skirting before any damp patch appears on a ceiling below.

Flat-roofed extensions on 1930s semis

Broadwater, Durrington and Salvington have many 1930s semis extended with flat-roofed kitchens or bathrooms. Felt and asphalt coverings on these roofs perish over time, and water tracks sideways along joists before dripping through a ceiling far from the original defect, meaning the visible stain rarely marks the actual failure point above.

Upstairs bathrooms in converted and multi-let properties

Many larger terraces in West Tarring and around Worthing town centre have been split into flats, with upstairs bathrooms added over rooms never designed to take standing water. Perished shower tray seals or grout around baths let water seep into the floor void, travelling along joists into a downstairs flat's ceiling before residents upstairs notice anything wrong.

What our customers say

Excellent
Rated 4.9 / 5 based on 19 reviews on
Tip: If your water meter ticks over with every tap off, or a wall or ceiling stays damp with no obvious cause, there is a hidden leak. Finding it early is far cheaper than repairing the mould and damage it leaves behind.
