My water pressure dropped suddenly. Could that be a leak?
It can be. A clear change in pressure with no other explanation is worth checking, especially alongside a meter that keeps moving with all the taps off.

What Is Involved
Burst Pipes help in Kelmscott
Finding the leak is most of the job. MLC Plumbing narrows it down from the meter, the pressure and the visible signs before opening anything up, which is what keeps the digging small and the repair honest.
Kelmscott properties can have varied drainage conditions, sloped blocks, older fixtures and outdoor pipework exposed to garden and access changes. A careful inspection matters before deciding whether a quick repair or deeper drain check is needed. Locally that means sloping blocks and established trees can influence drainage, outdoor pipework and pressure symptoms.
There is a fuller write-up of what this work involves if you want the detail before booking anything.
Signs of a burst or leaking pipe
- Reduced pressure at taps or in the shower
- Water staining on walls, ceilings or inside cabinets
- Hissing, spraying or dripping from exposed pipework
- A patch of lawn or paving that stays wet with no explanation
Why pipes fail
- Ageing copper, poly or galvanised pipework reaching the end of its life
- Accidental damage during gardening, paving or renovation work
- Corrosion on older external or under-house pipework
- Freeze-thaw and heat stress on exposed external pipework

Good to Know
Burst Pipes questions, answered
Is a burst pipe an emergency?
If water is running and you cannot stop it, phone rather than book. A slow weep that you have already isolated at the meter can wait for a booked visit.
How do I check the meter for a hidden leak?
Turn every tap and appliance off, then watch the smallest dial on the meter for a few minutes. If it is still moving, water is going somewhere it should not be.
Who actually turns up in Kelmscott?
The plumber you spoke to on the phone. MLC Plumbing is not a call centre passing jobs to subcontractors, which is why the price quoted is the price by the person doing the work.
