How to detect a leak at home
If you suspect you have a hidden water leak in your home or business there are a few things you can do to check if your suspicions are correct.
- Check your water meter – Turn off all your taps and fixtures and make sure no one uses water. Note down the number on your water meter dial, then come back in 30 mins and note it down again. If the meter dial has increased you most likely have a water leak.
- Check taps and fixtures for leaks – Leaking toilets and taps can be a common reason for an increase in water usage. Check to see if your toilet has water constantly running in the bowl and if your taps are dripping. If you do have a tap or toilet leak, it is recommended to have these fixed before leak detection work is carried out.
- Review your water bill – An increase in your water bill can also signal a potential leak in your property. Review the last 3 months of your billing cycle to the previous 3 months. But don’t forget to take into account filling up pools or having guests over to stay.
- Do you have water pooling or mould/mildew growing – Check in and around your property for water pooling on the floor at the base of walls or if you have a wet driveway. Mould on the walls or ceilings is also another indicator of a possible hidden leak.
