Common Signs of Underground Water Leaks
Recognising the early signs of an underground water leak can save you from extensive repairs and high water bills. Here are some common indicators that you might have a leaking external water pipe or an underground plumbing leak:
- Unusually High Water Bills: An unexpected rise in your water bill without increased usage often points to a hidden underground leak.
- Damp or Mould Growth: Visible damp patches, mould, or mildew on exterior walls, foundations, or landscaping suggest a possible leak in an underground water pipe.
- Water Pooling in the Garden: Puddles or soggy areas in your garden can indicate a leaking external drain pipe.
- Visible Pipe Damage: Cracks, corrosion, or bulging in external pipes are clear signs of a water main leak.
- Falling Leaves or Grass: Areas around trees or plants that are excessively dry or damaged may be near a leaking underground water pipe.
- Unusual Sounds: Hissing or gurgling noises from underground can indicate a leak in the external pipe.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to act quickly. Detecting water leaks early can prevent costly damage and reduce water wastage, ensuring the safety and efficiency of your property’s water supply.
