How Common Are Water Leaks
Many landlords underestimate the frequency and impact of water leaks. However, recent studies reveal that a staggering 43% of domestic properties in the UK have experienced water leaks. With average insurance claims for water damage reaching £2,638, leaks can severely affect your return on investment and overall portfolio profitability if left unchecked. This issue is not only financially draining for landlords but also environmentally damaging—UK homes are wasting an estimated £697 million annually on water bills due to leaks, which is enough water to fill Wembley Stadium every single day.
What Are The Common Causes of Water Leaks?
Water leaks can stem from a variety of sources, many of which are preventable with the right monitoring.
High Water Pressure
Fluctuating water pressure can prevent proper flow, leading to leaks. It can also damage water heaters and other appliances, increasing the risk of leaks.

Water leaks can stem from a variety of sources, many of which are preventable with the right monitoring.
Broken Seals
Seals around sinks, toilets, and other fixtures deteriorate over time, especially in older properties, leading to slow, undetected leaks.
What Are The Common Causes of Water Leaks?

What Are The Common Causes of Water Leaks?

Tree Roots
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
Shockingly, 55% of Brits have no idea how to detect a water leak, according to a study by Affinity Water. Even worse, 93% of tradespeople agree that leaks tend to worsen over time if left unaddressed so, if your tenants are unwilling or unable to identify and report leaks promptly, the consequences can be severe. With a separate study suggesting that a significant number of tenants delay leak repairs, with 32% citing cost concerns and 28% unsure of who to call for repairs, it’s time for landlords to take matters into their own hands when it comes to preventing and detecting leaks across their portfolio of properties.
Water Leaks
The Worst Case Scenario
This is particularly worrying for landlords across social housing following the introduction of Awaab’s Law, new legislation following the harrowing death of two year old Awaab Ishak in 2020 after he was exposed to mould within his family’s rented social home. In order to prevent such tragic events from happening again, the government has added an implied term to all social housing rental contracts that holds social landlords to account over the condition of their properties. Now, tenants in social housing can hold their landlords to account should problems such as mould or water leaks go unaddressed, with social landlords being taken to court should these issues be left unaddressed. Now more than ever, social housing providers need to be aware of the condition of their rental properties to prevent issues such as mould, fungal growth, and water leaks to remain compliant with Awaab’s Law.
