About Concealed Water Leaks
Leaks around your home can waste water and increase your water bill, costing you money unnecessarily. A tap dripping once every second will waste up to 33 litres of water per day. A leaking underground water pipe could be wasting thousands of litres a day.
If you notice a sudden change in your water usage and nothing in your household has changed, this could indicate you have a concealed leak. Concealed water leaks can occur behind walls, underground or in fixtures and appliances.
Checking for leaks regularly and repairing them quickly can be a simple way to save money.
If you suspect you have a water leak, contact the leak detection specialists at Plumbmasters as soon as possible. We use non-invasive methods, which means minimal impact to your property to locate the source of your water leak.
How to Detect a Hidden Water Leak
Signs You May Have A Water Leak
- An excess water usage notice from the Council
- Increased water bill but no changes in your water usage
- Wet, damp or soggy areas around your home
- You can hear the sound of running water when no taps or appliances are being used
How To Check If You Have A Water Leak
- Turn off all taps and water-using appliances, including washing machines and dishwashers.
- Take a reading of your water meter.
- Avoid using any water for at least 30 minutes
- Check your meter again. If the reading has increased, you may have a hidden water leak.
Suspect a hidden water leak? Our experienced Gold Coast plumbers use specialised leak detection equipment to locate concealed water leaks and recommend the best way to repair them.
Preventing Future Water Leaks
A leaking water pipe can sometimes be a sign of a bigger problem, particularly in older plumbing systems. Deteriorating or ageing pipework, high water pressure and previous installation methods can all contribute to recurring water leaks.
When repairing a leak, our plumbers assess the condition of the affected pipework and identify any potential issues that could lead to further problems. Depending on what we find, we may recommend replacing damaged sections of pipework or installing a pressure reduction valve to help protect your plumbing system.
Our goal is to provide a reliable, long-term repair and help reduce the risk of future water leaks.
