Importance of Water Leak Detection Services for Burst Pipes

A burst or broken water pipe is a common plumbing problem which can cause extensive water damage to your property. Cold temperatures, high water pressure, compromised pipe materials, ground movements, ageing and corrosion are some of the many reasons that may cause a burst pipe. Even though pipe bursts and leaks are often unpredictable, the immediate attention of a reliable water leak detection specialist is the only way to contain the damage. These professionals are not only well-trained but also fully equipped with all the latest tools and equipment to carry out the needed repairs.

How to Identify a Leaky or Burst Water Pipe?

Watch out for these early indicators of a water leak. In order to prevent it from turning into a burst water pipe, notify our burst pipe plumbers as soon as you spot them in your home or commercial space.

Dampness on Walls or Ceilings

Since most water pipes are located underground or behind the walls, you are most likely to notice water marks or dampness on your walls or ceilings in case of a pipe burst. Get in touch with us for leak detection services to fix the damage before you are left to clean up and repair a larger issue.

Flaky Paint

Peeling paint indicates that there’s a hidden pipe leak somewhere behind your walls. The paint only starts to shed when the leak remains unidentified for some time, making it damp and flakey. If you encounter such a problem, call a certified plumber for water leak detection and save yourself from costly repairs a few days down the lane.

Low Water Pressure

Low water pressure is another indicator of a burst water pipe. When there is a noticeable difference in the water pressure, along with a sudden increase in your water bills, it is ideal to get your pipes checked for a possible leak. The expert plumbers at Kalamunda Plumbing use a specialised water pipe leak detector to trace the accurate location from where the pipe is broken. Once the leak is identified, they devise a suitable strategy to mend the damage.

Sound of Running Water

Is there a constant sound of running water in your home? If you have already checked your taps and toilet tanks for leaks and haven’t found a clue, a certified plumber can easily locate the source of dripping water through an underground water leak detector. Remember, ignoring this problem often leads to severe property damage as the water can eventually deteriorate the structure and foundations of your home.

Water Marks or Puddles on Floors or Carpets

If you notice water marks or puddles forming on the floors or carpets near your kitchen, laundry area or bathroom, make sure to call a plumbing leak detection expert ASAP. Similarly, boggy areas in your garden are also tell-tale signs of an underground burst water pipe; especially when there was no rainfall during the past few days.
