Signs That You May Need a Leak Detection Service
If you have a hidden leak that is not clearly visible, there are some clear signs that clearly indicate a leak somewhere in your plumbing system.
- Soaking Floor - a pool of water on the floor can be a clear indicator that there is a leak in one of the pipes under the floor or inside a wall if the water seems to be coming from under the walls.
- Shower Leak - The slow sinking and movements of the house foundation over time can cause pipes to shift and crack. This is the main cause for your shower piping to start leaking and often this is hidden inside the walls, which can lead to serious damage if not noticed. Pay attention to the grout between the tiles, if they are constantly damp, waterlogged, possibly mouldy and never completely dry out between showers, it’s an indicator that you may have a hidden leak inside the wall.
- High water bill - when your bill is suddenly much higher, with no changes to your water use, it’s an indication that there may be a leak somewhere.
