Why Water Surveys Matter More Than Ever

Why Water Surveys Matter More Than Ever


In an era of rising water utility costs and increasing pressure on sustainability, understanding and managing water consumption is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s essential. At Demeter Water Solutions, we deliver precision-driven water surveys that help organisations identify hidden issues, prevent waste, and achieve substantial cost savings.

The Power of a Survey

Most people assume leaks are obvious. The truth? Some of the costliest losses happen silently—behind walls, under floors, or underground—unnoticed until the bills skyrocket.

Water surveys help detect:

  • Constant flows during off-peak hours
  • Faulty plumbing fixtures (taps, toilets, urinals)
  • Inefficient heating systems and overflows
  • External leaks buried beneath buildings

Each site we assess receives a thorough audit: meter reads, visual inspections, isolation tests, flow tests. The result is actionable insight tailored to your building’s layout and infrastructure.

Real Savings, Real Impact

Take one event and office venue, where a constant overnight flow of 300 litres per hour—caused by faulty urinals and stuck taps—was silently draining resources. Annual cost? Nearly £8,700. Our recommendations for sensor installations and tap replacements were simple but powerful fixes.

In a 24/7 care facility, we found a series of toilets running continuously. These minor leaks added up to over 4.7 cubic meters a day. The projected savings from repairs? Around £7,000 per year—and a significantly reduced environmental impact.

At a recently converted office complex, a suspiciously high water bill led to the discovery of an underground leak beneath a historic courtyard. Using correlation tools and acoustic surveys, we pinpointed the leak’s exact location without disturbing protected architectural features. Internal losses from two faulty toilets added to the issue, but targeted repairs are now helping the site recover hundreds of litres every hour.

🛠 What We Deliver

With each survey, we provide:

  • Full on-site inspection and leak audit
  • Usage benchmarking and historical trend analysis
  • Pinpointing of water losses
  • Clear, cost-saving recommendations
  • Supporting visuals (photos/videos) and repair guidance
