SIGNS OF WATER LEAKS

Spotting leaks in your house or property can be easy but sometimes they are hard to find especially if you are not sure how to do it. Also monitor your water use.

Here are some common signs that there is a leak in your house or property:

• HIGHER WATER BILLS:

Leaks, wheather seen or unseen, can cause a loss of galons and galons resulting in high water bills. Ignoring such, causes unusually high municipal charges.

Regular checks in your water usage is a necessary step that, even though ignored by may households and businesses alike, needs to be taken seriously higher maintenance costs as a result.

• DISCOLOURED OR CRACKED WALLS:

 In the long run, leaks inside the walls will start peeling off the paint or wall paper, causing serious damage to rhe substrate. These result in high maintance costs in repairing the walls and closing the leak.

• MOULD BUILD UP: 

You notice a musty smell but dont know where its coming from? It is a result of still water hidden behind your appliances creating a mould. This causes an adour smell, check behind your appliances if you can notice any.  

 If there is a strong musty smell near a certain area of your wall, there could be a water leak or mold growth behind it.

• WET SPOTS ON FLOORS OR WALLS:

Pipes inside the wall, floor or ceilling will show signs of wet or dump areas as a result of water leaks.

• DRIPPING OR RUNNING WATER NOISES:

If you’ve noticed a drop in pressure for your faucets or shower, and are confident that water isn’t being used elsewhere in your home, there may be a leak.

 The pressure change could be regular or intermittent, but both point to a potential plumbing problem in your home, whether a water leak or something more serious.

• A DROP IN WATER PRESSURE-

If you’ve been experiencing some disappointing showers, or struggle to get enough water out of your faucet, then it’s time to check for an underground plumbing issue.

 A drop in your house’s water pressure doesn’t guarantee that there’s a slab leak, but it’s still important to have a plumber inspect your plumbing.

• BROKEN OR DISCONNECTED CONNECTIONS:

Where plumbing water pipes join, especially inside the walls, or connect to the appliances like geyser, washing machines, etc, they disconnect gradually due to old wear and tear. 

Identify these leaks by checking every connection of your pipes on the interior and exterior of your property by checking wetness or dumpness on the floor, ceiling and walls.

The disconnection of pipes can happen at anytime of the day or night, just like any other nightmare, the idea of waking up at night looking for an emergency plumber poses a daunting challenge to every home owner.
