    Leak Detection FAQ's

    What Causes a Leak?

    Leaks can occur due to several factors: excessive pressure can overwhelm their capacity, causing leaks; cracks, though less common with modern plumbing, can still occur and lead to water seepage; and corrosion, often caused by factors like water chemistry, temperature and pressure, can deteriorate pipes and result in leaks. To prevent corrosion-related leaks, treating your water can be highly effective.

    What are the most common types of leaks?

    Common types of leaks include dripping taps, ceiling leaks, under-sink leaks, underground pipe leaks, and wall leaks. Each can cause significant issues, so timely repair is essential to prevent further damage. These leaks most frequently occur in areas such as the kitchen, bathroom and in the walls, where plumbing and water usage are concentrated.

    How to know if you have a leak in your home?

    Detecting leaks can be challenging, but recognising the following warning signs can help you address them before they escalate. Watch for a decrease in water pressure, stains on ceilings, floors, or walls, an unexpectedly high water bill, increased humidity in your home, or mould growth. 

    Also, listen for unusual plumbing noises like dripping or hissing and inspect for rusty or corroded pipes. If you notice any of these warning signs, please contact our expert on 02 8859 0801 immediately. For a detailed guide on detecting and fixing leaks, check out this blog.

    What are the consequences of not fixing a leak?

    Addressing leaks is crucial, as ignoring them can lead to rising water bills, structural damage, and even flooding. Leaking toilets and pipes also waste a significant amount of water. If left unchecked, certain leaks may compromise your plumbing system, requiring more extensive General Plumbing repairs to restore functionality.

    Can I detect leaks on my own, or should I hire a professional?

    While you can perform basic checks for leaks, such as inspecting for ceiling leaks or water leaking from the ceiling, hiring a professional is advisable for accurate leak detection and thorough assessment. For more information on identifying and repairing ceiling leaks, visit our blog.

    What should I do if a leak is found?

    If a leak is found, turn off the water supply and contact a professional plumber for repairs to prevent further damage.

    How can I prevent leaks in my home?

    To prevent leaks in your home, regularly check plumbing fixtures for wear and maintain appliances like washing machines and dishwashers by inspecting hoses. Addressing minor issues promptly can help catch potential problems before they escalate.

    For additional DIY plumbing tips, including keeping gutters and stormwater drains clear, read our blog, DIY Tips to Fix Home Plumbing Issues.

    How often should I have my home inspected for leaks?

    It’s recommended to have your home inspected for leaks at least once a year or more frequently if you notice signs of leaks, such as roof leaks in heavy rain. Don’t wait for a major leak—schedule a check-up today and see our latest special offers on leak detection services.

    What are the best methods for detecting leaks?

    Regularly check taps and toilets for leaks. To test for toilet leaks, add a few drops of food colouring to the cistern and see if the colour appears in the bowl. Disconnect hoses from garden taps to ensure they aren’t leaking, and look for irregular patches of green grass, which may indicate an underground leak.

    Is the leak detection process invasive and disruptive?

    No, modern leak detection methods are non-invasive, meaning they don’t require drilling or breaking through walls unless absolutely necessary. This ensures minimal disruption to your property while still effectively identifying leaks.

    Yes, we offer professional leak detection services throughout Sydney, including Malabar, Maroubra, and Matraville. Whether you’re in Paddington, Pagewood, or Randwick, we use advanced technology to locate and fix leaks.

    I used the Clean Plumber and they were honest in their assessment. A previous plumber installed our freestanding bathtub incorrectly and used the incorrect drain connection (for a sink instead of a tub) leading to unbearably slow drainage. I hired two other plumbers who couldn’t diagnose the problem correctly but the Clean Plumber came and identified the issue and re-installed the tub with correct parts. All along the process they were upfront as to how much it would cost to do the work based on issues found. They were pleasant to deal with and thoroughly explained how they were going to fix it. I would definitely use them again.

    I recently had the pleasure of having Tanaka from The Clean Plumber handle a plumbing issue at my home, and I couldn't be happier with the service. From start to finish, Tanaka was the epitome of professionalism. He arrived on time, which I greatly appreciated, and even wore shoe covers to ensure my home stayed spotless—such a thoughtful touch!Tanaka was incredibly polite and took the time to clearly explain the work that needed to be done, outlining all the options available with transparent and very reasonable pricing. This made it easy for me to make an informed decision without feeling pressured. His work was efficient, thorough, and left everything cleaner than when he arrived.Not only did he solve the plumbing issue flawlessly, but he was also genuinely pleasant to have around, making the whole experience stress-free. I will absolutely be using The Clean Plumber again, and I highly recommend Tanaka to anyone in need of a reliable, skilled, and courteous plumber.

    Recently called the clean plumber for an urgent plumbing issue. I have never called them before but after jayden arrived to my house and completed the work I’ll never call anyone else. Jayden was on time, had great communication, explained everything he was doing to me and how things work, his work was precise and to a high standard and left the work area spotless. I will definitely be asking for Jayden again next time I need a plumber.

    My in-laws were after a reliable plumber but didn’t know anyone reputable. I did a google search for them and took a few quotes. Although The Clean Plumber wasn’t the cheapest, their quote was still very reasonable and they were by far the most professional to deal with. Happy with the job and glad we took the plunge. Workmanship 5 stars, Service 5 stars and reliability 5 stars. Job well done!!
