In bathrooms, kitchens and laundries, taps are connected to plumbing breach pipes which are usually hidden behind tiles.
If you have leaks in any of these locations, call NexGen Tradies, Perth’s residential and commercial property maintenance company, and have a licensed plumber look at the problem as soon as possible.
Non-invasive electronic test
There will be no call out fee and the plumber will have extensive experience with electronic non-invasive testing to detect the cause of the leak.
Showers are where most failed plumbing breaches are found. If your shower has a leak,
The breach pipe may have failed. Repairing it will mean opening a wall. With NexGen Tradies, all restoration is easily completed in a timely manner, and your shower recess will be returned to its original condition.
Signs of hidden leaks
Aside from leaking taps, reasons for considering a non-invasive electronic check for hidden leaks throughout your home or commercial property would include:
- Unusually high water bills
- Stained ceilings, walls, or floors
- Musty odour
- Signs of mould
- Dampness under a kitchen sink
- Dampness of soil around the building
One or more of these signs indicate your plumbing pipes may have a hidden leak.
Do the water meter test
To help you decide whether you have a hidden leak take these steps:
A: Shut off every tap and water-using appliance or piece of equipment, including dish washer, washing machine, toilet cistern and irrigation.
B: Check your water meter and write down the red numbers on the meter.
C: Make sure no one in the property uses water for 15 minutes to one hour.
D: Re-read your water meter’s red numbers and check it against the earlier reading. If the numbers indicate a hidden leak, call NexGen Tradies.
The NexGen Tradies’ plumber will do an electronic non-invasive check of your plumbing to find the hidden leak. Once discovered, a solution for the problem will be discussed with you.
