Where Water Leaks Commonly Occur
Water leaks can occur in several areas throughout your plumbing system. Some leaks are visible, while others remain hidden until they cause noticeable damage.
Leaks Inside Walls
Pipes running through walls can develop leaks due to corrosion, movement or damaged fittings. These leaks often cause damp patches, mould and paint damage.
Underground Pipe Leaks
Water supply pipes located underground can crack or shift over time. These leaks may appear as wet patches in gardens or unexplained increases in water usage.
Slab Leaks
Leaks beneath concrete slabs can be difficult to detect without professional equipment. Signs may include warm or damp flooring and rising moisture levels.
Leaks Around Fixtures and Appliances
Leaks can also occur around taps, toilets and appliances such as hot water systems. If your hot water unit is affected, our hot water systems Adelaide service can inspect and repair the issue.
