WATER LEAK DETECTION ADELAIDE

Water damage and flooding can lead to extensive structural damage to all areas of your house or business, and requires costly repairs. This can include ceilings, walls and floors and even the foundations. Your stored items, belongings, furniture, goods or supplies may also be affected.

Water meter keeps ticking along even when all the taps are switched off. Flooding or puddles around the home or garden. Water pressure changes. Persistent musty, damp smells. Your water bills have sharply increased compared to before. Cracks in concrete, brickwork or tiling. Tap leaks signs: dripping tap even when switched off, water pooling around or leaking from the tap body and spindle, water coming out of the cover plate when switched on. Pipe leaks: dripping noises, hissing sounds or moisture coming from walls or ceilings, discoloured or unpleasant smelling water, mould, warped or stained walls, ceilings and cabinetry. Signs of a toilet leak: water pools at the base of the toilet, or it continuously trickles into the bowl, even when it hasn't been used.

Taps: replacing the washer, O Ring, jumper valve. Pipes: replacing the pipe. Toilet: replacing the parts which aren't working properly or unblocking the drainage pipe.

The causes of a tap leak are worn out/broken/incorrect size/incorrectly installed tap washer, worn out jumper valve, damaged or corroded valve seating, worn out O Ring. Pipe leaks are caused by blockages. Broken or damaged pipes can be caused by high water pressure, corrosion and rust, tree roots, environmental temperature changes and shifts to the house foundation. The issues that lead to a leaking toilet can include poor drainage; worn out, damaged, or poorly positioned water valve, float valve or flapper flushpipe seal.
