Why is Prompt Leak Detection is important for your home and your wallet

A small water leak can go unnoticed in your home for days, weeks or even months. Many homeowners delay calling a plumber until they notice visible damage and by that stage, it’s too late. Early prevention and leak detection can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in repairs and protect your home from excessive water damage.

Signs You May Have a Water Leak

Household water leaks often hide within plain sight. They start small like an annoying drip under your sink or a damp spot on your wall but can quickly spread if unchecked. Common signs to look out for include:

• Unusually high water bills
• Damp spots on your walls, ceilings or floors
• Water stains
• Lush green patches or overgrowth in your garden
• Dripping or hissing sounds coming from your pipes or through the walls

What Causes My Pipes to Leak?

Contrary to popular belief, our wild Sydney weather isn’t always to blame for your water leak. Our plumbers know that while hot and rainy weather can have a small effect on your plumbing systems, it’s actually the cold weather that has more of an impact. Many older Sydney homes like terraces, have copper pipes that are particularly susceptible to leaks and wear and tear. The rapidly expanding and contracting of these pipes with the fluctuating temperatures can cause them to rub against each other and wear down over time, causing hairline cracks.

The Dangers of Intermittent Water Leaks

Intermittent leaks are also common in Sydney. These types of leaks are particularly dangerous as thy tend to go unnoticed for long periods of time. Unlike a burst pipe that is quite an obvious leak, an intermittent leak in a shower only occurs when it is being used. While it may seem like it’ll resolve itself, leaving these leaks can cause all kinds of damage to your floors, walls, carpets and can even start rotting the structural wood of your home.

If you suspect that you have an intermittent leak in your bathroom or shower, it’s important to call our qualified and certified professionals as soon as possible.
