Burst Pipes & Water Leaks Gold Coast

Signs of a Leaking Pipe Gold Coast

If a pipe is broken or cracked, and is gushing water, it’s not so hard to figure out the issue. But some leaking pipes are notoriously hard to find, access and repair. Left unfixed, these can end up costing hundreds extra on your water bill. So, if you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call a professional plumber:

• Running, Dripping or Hissing Water: Hearing water movement, even when the taps are off, is a likely sign of a concealed leak.
• Damp Patches or Discolouration: Seeing visible staining or ‘wet spots’ are clear signs of a nearby leak that’s soaking into your building.
• Wall Warmth or Bubbling Paint: Noticing blistering paint or warm spots is a sign of moisture in the Gyprock or a hot water line leak.
• Mould or Mildew: Finding mould or mildew growth in walls and ceilings is a sign of consistent moisture and poses a health risk to building occupants.
• Constant Puddles: Observing persistent puddles in your yard usually points to a burst or leaking underground mainline.
• Damp or Musty Smells: Smelling a stale, earthy odour in enclosed spaces, like cupboards or laundries, is an indicator of trapped moisture.
• Inconsistent Water Pressure: Experiencing a drop in water pressure at your kitchen tap or bathroom shower suggests a leak further in the system that’s taking water away from fixtures.
• Water Hammer: Hearing a hammering noise in your plumbing when you turn off taps indicates pressure surges that dislodge joints and can lead to water leaks.

Simple DIY Water Leak Test:

An easy way to determine whether you have a leak is to turn off all your taps, making sure no water is running through appliances, and checking the water meter.

1. Record the numbers on the meter.
2. Wait 1-2 hours without using any water.
3. Come back and record the numbers. If there is a change, you have water leaking somewhere and likely need a professional to assess and repair.
