As leaks get worse over some time, they can begin to cause intensive damage to your property and subsequently increase the amount you pay for your water bills. Healthwise, leaks can be harmful to your family's health as they are the cause of mould and mildew.

In case of doubts, it is safe to clarify that it is very much possible to have a hidden leak. It could be in the least expected places and at the most unexpected time. The burning question is, thus, how can you find out and determine if and when the professional help of a plumber is needed?
Below are our plumber's tips and professional guidelines on some telltale signs to look out for and how you can keep your plumbing leak issues to a minimum with constant checks.
Quite a lot of plumbing problems that cause water waste in the home are as a result of unnoticeable slow leaks in pipes, fixtures, appliances and others.
We have outlined some guidelines to follow when checking for leaks and we have emphasised the most common places for this occurrence.
If you notice a water bill hike without any significant cause or change of household routine, then that can be a sign that you may have a leak somewhere. Hence, each time a water bill is delivered on your doorstep, be sure to compare it against the previous bill. If there are no irrational increase in the bill, then the odds are you may not have a leak and vice versa.
This is another way to detect a leaking pipe. Your water meter can be your guide. Whenever you notice an unexplained or unusually high increase in your bill, it could be pointing to a hidden leak in your home, office, etc.
It is best advisable to carry out a water meter test when you are at home alone.

Here is what to look out for when you want to detect a hidden plumbing leak;
The first and commonplace to check should be your visible pipes, sinks, dishwashers, toilets, washing machine, showers, sprinkler and irrigation systems. When you notice drips, puddles or soft spots on or around these fixtures, it could be a leak that needs to be repaired, and you should call a plumber to do the work.
Also, sagging floors or walls, or stained, mouldy wallpaper or ceilings or even musty, earthy smells may be indications of a leak.
Also, some other critical problems such as leaks behind walls that can slowly cause damage to the infrastructure of your home should be taken care of as soon as possible.
Do you know that 30% of your family's water usage can be accounted for in your toilets? Consequently, this can increase even more if there is a leak in your toilet. A simple test to detect if you have a leak in your toilet is to add food colouring to your toilet tank and wait for about ten minutes. If that colour becomes visible in the toilet bowl within the span of those ten minutes, then you most likely have a leak from the tank to your toilet drain.
Usually, this type of toilet leak is caused when the rubber seals in your toilet are getting worn out. You will need to replace them, and you can certainly trust us to help you with fixing that.
To detect any leakage in these fixtures, you have to check under basins and around sinks for signs of mould or any earthy musty smells. Houses that are over two and a half decades may have plumbing issues as plumbing systems decline over time. If your home is over 25 years, then you should be more alert in your check.
Furthermore, ensure that you always completely close the taps of your showers or baths as a slow drip can gradually waste a large volume of water over time, so you should consider replacing any old taps in your home.

When these structural materials are wet or dampened over a long period, they can become soft and warped, just like wood. When you observe abnormalities in the flatness and texture of a wall and its structural materials, it could be a sign of hidden leaks.
