Corroded pipes or water heaters due to electrolysis, rust, or general wear.

2

Homeowner Tips: Detecting Potential Water Leaks

Often, homeowners are unaware of a water leak until they experience:

  • Unusually high water bills or notification from the Water Authority.
  • Visible signs of water leakage or the sound of hissing water under floors or behind walls.
  • Noticeable stains on concrete or plaster.

If you suspect a water leak but don’t observe these signs, you can perform a simple check before scheduling professional leak detection:

  1. Ensure all taps and toilet stop valves are fully turned off.
  2. Locate your water meter (typically within 2 meters of the footpath near your front garden).
  3. Take a photo of the current water meter readings.
  4. Wait approximately 30 minutes and take another photo of the water meter readings.
  5. Compare the two readings. If the digits have moved, you likely have a water leak.

If you suspect a leak, contact Your Choice Plumbers immediately at 1300 852 779 or fill out our online inquiry form to schedule an appointment.
