IN LONDON & ESSEX
waterdamage.repairWater Damage Repair Experts – Powered by AquaKare Ltd.
Water damage can spread far beyond the area you can see. A leaking pipe, escape of water or flood can leave moisture trapped beneath floors, behind walls and within ceilings, causing continuing damage long after the original problem has been stopped.
As part of AquaKare, our experienced water damage specialists provide a complete service across London and Essex, from identifying the source of water ingress through to professional drying, remediation, repairs and final reinstatement.
Rather than dealing with several different contractors, we can manage the complete process. We locate and stop leaks, assess the extent of hidden water damage, dry and decontaminate affected areas and repair your property ready for you to get back to normal.
This is an important differentiator. AquaKare’s existing service specifically combines leak detection in London & Essex, drying, decontamination and repair rather than treating them as completely separate services.
From initial investigation to final restoration
Water damage can be extremely disruptive, particularly when you don’t know how far the water has travelled or what needs to happen next.
Our team can take you through the complete process — identifying the source where necessary, assessing the damage, drying affected areas and carrying out the repairs required to restore your property.

Stopping a leak is only the beginning. Moisture left within floors, walls and ceilings can continue to affect a property after the visible water has disappeared.
Our water damage restoration service deals with the cause, moisture and resulting damage, providing a complete route from investigation and drying through to repair and reinstatement.
What Causes Water Damage?
Water damage isn’t always the result of an obvious flood. Some of the most serious property damage can develop from relatively small leaks that remain hidden for weeks or months.
Common causes include burst or leaking pipes, central heating leaks, leaking mains water supplies, overflowing appliances, damaged plumbing connections, roof or external water ingress and flooding.
Signs can include staining to walls or ceilings, lifting flooring, peeling paint, damp or musty odours, mould growth, unexplained moisture and recurring damp patches.
If the source isn’t obvious, identifying why the property is wet is essential before restoration begins. Repairing cosmetic damage without resolving the underlying cause can simply allow the problem to return.
Yes. We can assist with water damage affecting both residential and commercial properties across London, Essex and Kent.
Many buildings insurance policies provide cover for sudden escape-of-water damage, but the exact cover depends on your individual policy and the cause of the damage. We can provide reports, quotations and supporting information and liaise with insurers where appropriate.
Yes. Our service can extend beyond leak detection and drying to repairing and reinstating water-damaged areas, providing a coordinated service from the original problem through to restoration.
There isn’t one fixed drying time. It depends on the amount of water, how long the property was wet, the materials affected, ventilation and whether moisture has entered concealed areas such as floor voids or wall cavities. We assess the property and monitor the drying process rather than relying solely on how dry surfaces appear.
Professional water damage drying can involve removing standing water where present, controlled dehumidification, air movement and monitoring moisture levels within affected building materials. The objective is to remove excess moisture before repairs and reinstatement are completed.
Yes. Where the source of the water damage is unknown, AquaKare specialises in leak detection and can investigate hidden leaks before drying and restoration work begins. Techniques available include thermal and acoustic leak detection and other diagnostic methods depending upon the property and suspected source.
If it is safe to do so, stop the source of water and move possessions away from the affected area. If the source cannot be identified or safely isolated, contact a professional. Water can spread into adjoining materials and areas that appear dry, so the full extent of damage may require professional assessment.
