Water Leak Detection and Repairs

A leaking pipe, tap or fitting may seem like a small problem, but it can quickly lead to water damage, mould and higher water bills. Whether the leak is easy to spot or hidden behind a wall, beneath a floor or inside a ceiling, we will help identify the source and recommend the right repair.

Signs You May Have a Water Leak

Not every leak is immediately visible. Common warning signs include:

  • An unexplained increase in your water bill
  • Damp patches on walls, ceilings or floors
  • Peeling paint, bubbling wallpaper or swollen cabinetry
  • Musty smells or signs of mould
  • Reduced water pressure
  • The sound of running water when taps are turned off
  • Your water meter continuing to move when no water is being used.

If something does not look or sound right, it is best to have it checked before the damage spreads.

Common Causes of Water Leaks

Water leaks can happen for several reasons, including:

  • Damaged or ageing pipes
  • Loose or worn pipe connections
  • Leaking taps, toilets and shower fittings
  • Burst flexible hoses
  • Corrosion
  • High water pressure
  • Faulty appliances
  • Accidental damage during renovations or construction
