Water leaks in a home or business can range from minor nuisances to major concerns. Here are some of the most common complaints:

• Leaky Faucets: Often caused by worn-out washers or O-rings, these are among the most frequent and easily noticeable leaks.
• Toilet Leaks: These can occur from flapper valve issues, worn-out internal components, or misalignments between the tank and the bowl.
• Under-Sink Leaks: These typically happen due to loose connections or deteriorated pipe joints under sinks.
• Showerhead Leaks: Often resulting from clogging or rubber washer degradation within the showerhead assembly.
• Water Heater Leaks: These can be due to corrosion in the tank, loose connections, or a malfunctioning pressure relief valve.
• Outdoor Leaks: These include leaks from outdoor faucets, sprinkler and hose pipe systems, and underground pipes due to wear and tear or freezing temperatures.
• Pipe Leaks in Walls: These are more challenging to detect and can cause significant damage. Causes include pipe corrosion, especially with old copper pipes, high water pressure, or low temperatures leading to a water leak and burst pipes.
• Appliance Leaks: Dishwashers, washing machines and refrigerators with water lines can develop leaks due to worn hoses or faulty connections.

Addressing these common leaks promptly can prevent water wastage and protect your property from water damage. Regular maintenance and inspections can help in the early detection and prevention of these issues.

Although accidents do happen, checking for water leaks in your home periodically can prevent major damage and also save water and your water bills. Here’s how you can do it if you suspect a water leak:

• Monitor Your Water Bill: Unusual increases in your water bill can indicate hidden leaks.
• Check Your Water Meter: Turn off all water-using appliances, and check the meter. If it continues to move, there might be a leak.
• Inspect Faucets and Pipes: Regularly check under sinks and around faucets for any drips or moisture. Check if there is a watertight seal around the fittings and tape tightly if necessary.
• Listen for Running Water: In quieter times, listen for the sound of dripping water or water pouring which could indicate a leak in walls or under floors.
• Inspect Toilets: You can experiment by adding a few drops of food colouring to the toilet tank; if the colour appears in the bowl without flushing, there is a good chance that there is a leak in the flapper valve.
• Check Exterior Usage: Look for damp patches or greener areas outside, which could indicate a leak in your outdoor plumbing system or supply pipes.
• Examine Appliances: Regularly inspect your dishwasher, washing machine, and refrigerator for signs of leaks.

By regularly performing these simple checks, you can catch leaks early and prevent significant water damage in your home.
