How To Detect A Leaking Pipe In Your Home

Leaking Taps

If you suspect there is a water leak on your property, it is best to address the problem without delay. Water leaks not only result in wastage of water, can also cause extensive damage to various features on your property.

We at Shire Care Plumbing handle all types of water leak repairs on commercial and residential properties. However we always encourage our customers to be knowledgeable when it comes to dealing with any kind of plumbing issues.

Some Checks

Before you call in a plumber there are some checks you can conduct to detect a leaking pipe in your home such as:

  • Turn off all faucets & water-using appliances on your property.
  • Locate where your water meter is. It’s generally atthe front of your property.
  • Make note of the black & red digits on the water meter dial.
  • Wait for about 10 minutes.
  • Check whether there has been a change in the last numbers on the water metre dial. If there is a change, you have a leakage. The greater the change, the more serious the leak.

In addition to the water meter check, some of the other signs that can help detect water leaks are:

  • Low water pressure in a specific area in your house.
  • Sounds of leakages.
  • Signs of seepage in the ceiling or walls.

Hire Leak Detection Experts

As mentioned at the outset, if you suspect that it is a leaking pipe on your property, its best to call in a licensed plumber to attend to the problem. When you hire us for the job, you can rest assured that advanced detection equipment would be used in the work. This helps us quickly identify where the problem spots are and we can provide a suitable solution.

“Our regular plumber has not been well so we called Shirecare Plumbing after seeing a local advertisement, Nick attended our property the same day we called for help. It was comforting to see a plumber arrive on time and who presented well. We had horrible mess down the side of our house after a blockage in the bathroom. Nick explained to us there was a chance we had a damaged pipe as there were tree roots blocking our pipe, he could remove the tree roots and show us on camera the damage to our pipes. Peter (my husband) and I were quite concerned of further damage so we asked nick for advice.
We decided to go ahead and remove the broken pipe and replace with new PVC pipe, after nick and the team at Shirecare restored our path we both felt with full confidence the job was done properly, very professional and always well mannered. We would like to take this opportunity to thank your company for such a seamless interaction and helping make our lives a little easier”

“We have recently suffered some in house damages mainly in 2 rooms the Kitchen and the Bedroom following some very bad weather with heavy rain and strong winds.
The builder looking at the repairs called in shire care plumbing to look at the damage and also to test the Pipes in the wall in the shower room in case of their leaking internally in the wall.
The plumber Nick attended very promptly and courteously. Nick explained what he will be doing and after the test explained the results. Whilst attending Nick asked what the problem we had experienced and on his own initiative went back into the roof to see if he could see any fault inspect the roof to see if he could spot the possible entry by water inside the roof. Earlier inspection by the Roof person sent by the Repairers reported no leak in the roof area. The plumber Nick found the hole in the roof and took photos to show the repairers. This photo showed clear daylight and would be the cause of water entering this area.

Thank you to Nick and his wonderful attitude to help us in this very difficult circumstance.”
