Although the source of the leak may seem apparent, it’s not always the true location of the problem. So it pays to have a specialist evaluate the area, so you can avoid costly repairs and band-aid solutions.
Have you ever received an excessive water bill? You might get a bit of a shock if you did!
Unfortunately this scenario is not too uncommon. It is usually the result of a burst or leaking water pipe that can be difficult to see or hear aboveground. Buried pipes burst or leak for a wide range of reasons, such as tree roots, ground movement, earthworks, age, corrosion, and more. Quite often, no water is even visible as it is absorbed by plants and trees, or follows sewer and stormwater trenches away from your property.
The first sign of a water leak can be a horrendous water bill, or a hissing sound that you hear late at night. You might also find your cat or dog suddenly favours a spot of carpet or flooring, as they’re soaking up the warmth that is radiating from a cracked or burst hot water pipe under the slab.
The financial cost can be extreme if it’s not dealt with quickly; leading to massive water bills and potential structural damage to your property.
