Common Signs Of A Hidden Water Leak
If you’re experiencing any of the following signs, a hidden water leak may be present:
✓ Higher water bills without increased usage
✓ Damp walls or wet patches
✓ Bubbling paint or peeling plaster
✓ Water pooling around your property
✓ Constant sound of running water
✓ Unexplained damp smells
✓ Water meter continues running when no water is being used
✓ Areas of unusually green grass
The earlier a leak is detected, the easier it is to prevent costly water damage and unnecessary water loss.
Why Hidden Leaks Should Not Be Ignored
Many leaks remain hidden for weeks or months before visible damage appears.
Unfortunately, the damage often continues long before homeowners become aware of the problem.
Ignoring a hidden leak can lead to:
• Higher monthly water bills
• Structural damage
• Damp walls and mould growth
• Foundation problems
• Damage to flooring and finishes
• More expensive repairs later
Finding leaks early can significantly reduce repair costs and help protect your property.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SUSPECT A HIDDEN LEAK
Hidden water leaks aren’t always obvious, but acting early can help reduce water damage and unnecessary water loss. If you suspect a hidden leak and it is safe to do so:
- Check whether your water meter continues to run when all taps and water-using appliances are turned off.
- Turn off the water supply if you discover a major or rapidly worsening leak.
- Move furniture, valuables and electrical items away from damp or leaking areas where possible.
- Avoid breaking walls, floors or paving to search for the leak yourself.
- Take note of any damp walls, wet patches, unusually green areas of lawn or unexplained increases in your water bill.
- Contact a professional leak detection specialist to accurately locate the source of the leak before unnecessary damage occurs.
- Early leak detection can help minimise water damage, reduce water waste and prevent more expensive repairs.

How To Check For A Hidden Leak
If you suspect a hidden leak:
✓ Turn off all taps and water-using appliances.
