A leak inside a wall or under the floor can run for months before you notice it. By then it may have damaged paint, tiles and even the structure. Watch for these warning signs.
1. A higher water bill
If your usage has not changed but the bill keeps rising, water may be escaping somewhere.
2. Stains or bubbling paint
Damp patches, yellow stains or paint that bubbles and peels are classic signs of water behind the wall.
3. A musty smell
Constant humidity creates mould, which you often smell before you see it.
4. The meter moves when taps are off
Close every tap and check the water meter. If it still moves, there is a leak.
5. Warm spots on the floor
A leaking hot-water pipe under tiles can make parts of the floor feel warm.
What to do
Our technicians use leak-detection sensors to find the exact spot without breaking walls, then repair only what is needed.
