Sarah Beeny on avoiding water leaks in our homes

Due to leaks within the home, the nation could be wasting £697 million on water bills each year, and 900 million litres of clean drinking water every day. This is equivalent to filling Wembley stadium or supplying water to another one million people a week.

Home leaks can cause extensive costly damage to the home, and the water lost impacts rivers and streams in water stressed areas.

An independent nationwide survey commissioned by Affinity Water, reveals over two thirds (68%) of the nation have had a leak in their home. But, just over half (55%) don’t know how to check their toilet or tanks for leaks, which are the culprits for the biggest water loss.

Ros spoke to TV presenter and property expert Sarah Beeny and Alan Beechy, leading expert on water conversations at Chiltern Chalk Streams Project.
