How ResiSure Solves Water Leaks
We understand just how damaging water leaks can be to a property, the financial strain they can place on property managers managing tight budgets and landlords building income from property, as well as the detrimental impact leaks can have on your tenants' health and wellbeing.

How Common Are Water Leaks
Many landlords and housing providers underestimate how often water leaks happen. In fact, 43% of domestic properties in the UK have suffered water leaks, across a portfolio of any size, a leak can happen, and the earlier it's spotted, the less it costs to put right, as the financial impact can be substantial.
The average escape of water claim comes in at around £8,595, so one missed leak can wipe out a good deal of a property's annual margin.
For social housing providers and property managers, the cost of a leak can extend beyond the initial repair. Water damage can result in property downtime, disruption for tenants, additional maintenance requirements and wider issues such as damp and mould.
The Housing Ombudsman's Annual Complaints Review for 2025-26 also highlights the importance of effective leak management. 23% of the repair complaints investigated by the Housing Ombudsman were about leaks, with more than 75% of leak complaints upheld.
Proactive monitoring can help property professionals identify changes in environmental conditions earlier, giving teams the opportunity to investigate potential problems before they escalate.

Water leaks can stem from a variety of sources, many of which can be identified and addressed through effective property maintenance and monitoring.

Roots from nearby trees can invade and damage underground plumbing, causing leaks that can be difficult to detect without specialised equipment.
The Long-Term Repercussions of Domestic Leaks
Water leaks that are not identified and addressed quickly can have consequences well beyond the initial plumbing issue.
For property managers and housing providers, an undetected leak can contribute to property damage, increased maintenance costs, tenant disruption and wider disrepair issues.
A proactive leak detection strategy gives landlords and property managers greater visibility of changing conditions within their properties, helping them investigate potential problems before damage becomes more extensive.
