Types of water leaks

The fresh water coming into your home runs under pressure through the mains water pipe which means a burst pipe can quickly become a huge issue in your home. The waste water leaving your home through the sewer system (everything that goes down the sink, toilet, bath, shower, etc.) and the rainwater travelling through the stormwater drains is gravity fed which usually leads to slower leaks (unless it has been raining or your have a blocked drain). With this in mind, there are generally 3 different types of water leaks:

• Stormwater leak : Is this leak only occurring when it is raining? If so, it is likely a stormwater leak.
• Leaking sewer drain : Does the leak have a bad odour? If so, it is commonly a sewer leak.
• Mains water supply : Does the water bubble up? If so, it is likely a water supply leak.

All three of these options mean one thing - call a Fallon Solutions plumber today!

Finding the leak

Apart from high water expenses, there are many other signs to look out for that could indicate that your pipes have burst or you have a broken drain.

• Wet areas of the garden that never seem to dry up.
• An unexplained growth of the plants or trees in one area of your garden.
• Damp or mould growth on walls, ceilings, and flooring.
• Cracks appearing in concrete, brickwork, or tiles.
• Persistent water stains on walls, ceilings, floors or woodwork.
• Warped or expanded cabinetry.
• Areas of paint chipping or bubbling.
• A musty or damp smell.

If you see (or smell) any of these signs, get in a professional to help out (like Fallon Solutions!).

Checking the meter

Set aside a period where you won't need water for at least two hours. Turn off all the taps throughout your property and home, and switch off any water using appliances (such as the dishwasher, washing machine and hot water system*). Take a note of the meter reading of your home's water meter then re-read the meter after two hours. If the reading has changed you could have a leak in the mains water pipe.

*Consult your hot water system manual for correct procedures
