Receiving a notification from the council about a potential leak can be alarming. What might start as a minor 5 litres per hour can escalate to over 25 litres in a short span. But don't panic; we're here to guide you.

​

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you identify potential leaks in your home before you call the experts in:

​

Initial Checks:

Begin by inspecting common water usage points around your home.

 

Toilets often become the usual suspects due to faulty seals in the cistern, leading to visible leaks in the bowl.

​

Additionally, ensure your dishwasher, washing machine, and hot water system are functioning without any drips.

 

If any tap is dripping and can't be shut off, it's time to call a plumber.

​

Irrigation Systems:

Your outdoor irrigation system can also be a culprit.

 

Examine solenoids, valves, and connections to the main water supply.

 

Over time, these components can wear out and become leak sources."

​

Yard Inspection:

Notice any damp patches in your yard?

 

It's a clear sign of a potential leak. However, refrain from using heavy machinery to investigate.
