Water leakage can occur anywhere and at any time in Australia. Underground leaking pipes are more common than expected and can lead to serious issues if not detected promptly. There are various ways to detect leaks in your Australian home, and it’s important to contact a professional plumber as soon as possible to undertake the necessary water leak repair work.
What Causes Underground Water Leaks in Australia?
Several factors can cause water leakage underground, including chemicals in water or soil that can cause pipes to crack and erode. Soil movement can also lead to underground pipe leaks, as the ground shifts and exerts pressure on water pipes, causing them to break and leak water into the soil or beneath the home’s slab. This can affect the home’s structural integrity and result in health issues like bacterial or mold growth.
How Can I Detect Water Leaks Beneath My Australian Home?
The first step in identifying a leak in your water pipes is to check your water meter. Turn off all water appliances in your home, such as taps, toilets, and washing machines, and note the meter’s position. After half an hour, check the meter again, and if the numbers have increased, there may be a water pipe leak under your home. Regularly checking your water bill can also help detect unexpected water usage that may indicate underground leaks.
If you notice water in strange places, unexplained lush spots in your backyard, water pooling up in your yard, or a musty smell or mold growth in your home, you may have plumbing leaks in your Australian home.
