Can a water leak cause structural damage? 💧

Leaks are a lot more common than you might think - according to figures shared by Ofwat, around a fifth of the UK’s water running through pipes is lost due to leakage.

If a leak is left undetected, it can threaten the structural integrity of your property. To make matters worse, the excess water and moisture in your walls and floors can lead to mould and mildew growth.

If you’ve discovered a pool of water on your property or any other signs of a leak, you need to act fast. That’s where our Leak Detection and Trace & Access services can help! 🔎

In our blog, we outline the most common causes of a water leak, the damage they can cause and how to detect and fix the leak.

It's Restart a Heart Day! 💗

Today we're raising awareness about cardiac arrest and the vital importance of CPR training. At Rainbow Restoration UK, we're proud to play our part in saving lives.

Research from First Aid for Life has shown that deploying a defibrillator within 3–5 minutes of onset or collapse can produce a 50–70% survival rate. Using quality CPR in combination with this can increase the odds of someone’s survival from around 6% to 74%.

We have been partnered with the The Oliver King Foundation to train our network and supply defibrillators since mid-2023. We currently have placed 15 defibs across our network – and we're not stopping there! 💙
