Find Out If You Have Water Leak On Your Property

A water leak on your property can be quite challenging to detect and if left unattended for too long water leaks have the potential to cause great damage. If you have recently received a hefty water bill without making drastic changes to your water usage in and around the house then you must call a professional plumber to rule out any leaks in your plumbing system. Most water leaks start minor and can go undetected for months until they become bigger causing damage to property. This is one of the biggest reasons to have your piping and plumbing system thoroughly investigated, regularly maintained, and serviced at least once a year for hidden and apparent issues that can be addressed in a timely manner saving you the hassle, time, and money.

What Causes A Water Leak?

Water leaks occur for several reasons and are mostly out of your control. Contact your local Adelaide plumber who is also a leak specialist to inspect and detect any water leaks with expertise and efficiency. The most common causes of water leaks are:

• Wear and tear
• Age of pipes and plumbing system
• Corroded or rusted pipes
• Burst water pipes
• Leaking appliances
• Leaking taps and plumbing fixtures

Signs Of A Water Leak

As mentioned, small water leaks can go undetected for months as the signs are too subtle for any homeowner to detect. If you have experienced any of the following, we recommend contacting an Adelaide plumbing specialist to further investigate and detect the exact issue to locate the leak before it escalates and becomes a major plumbing emergency. The chances of having a water leak on your property are extremely high if:

• Your water bill is higher than usual.
• You can hear flowing or running water even though you aren’t using any appliances, taps or showers.
• You have spotted water stains, peeling paint or dampness on your walls or roof.
• Spotted soft, muddy patches in your garden.
• Growth of mould in any area of your house.

These tell-tale signs indicate a water leak or burst pipe on your property. Some leaks are apparent while often a leak could be hidden and growing. Water leaks can occur about anywhere within the plumbing system – behind the walls, in the ceiling of townhouses and two storey homes, or underground. Worried you may have a leak? It is time to contact a water leak plumber Adelaide to assist right away.
