Leaking pipe emergency

and Hot water service leaking in roof space

Location: Adelaide CBD

Paul and Mary Parker and their children live in a residential block in metro Adelaide. Both parents work and the children have a busy schedule of after school activities. One day, Mary noticed the children coming in from the garden with muddy feet, event though it had not been raining. When questioned, they reported that a patch of lawn was waterlogged. Paul investigated for the cause of the leak. The backyard tap was firmly off. Mary checked the water meter and found it to be ticking regularly. Upon inspection of her last water bill, she could calculate that their usage was unusually high. Meanwhile, Paul discovered a crack in the pipe at the base that had been leaking for some time. After a quick conference, they called Flowtec Plumbing and Gas, who arrived within the hour to replace the damaged pipe.

Location: Adelaide CBD

“After finding a reasonable size leak in our roof we needed a plumber to come and have a look quickly. Through a web search we found Flowtec Plumbing and Gas and Will came out straight away, even on his Birthday! The problem was isolated quickly and a new gas instant hot water system was installed promptly. We found the workmanship to be first class and very professional. The price was fair and we would most certainly give Will a call next time we need a plumber. We would highly recommend Flowtec to family and friends.”

Frequently ASKED

QUESTIONS

What Causes Pipes to Leak?

Pipes can develop leaks due to corrosion, high water pressure, clogs, temperature changes, poor installation, joint problems, and physical damage. Corrosion weakens pipe walls, while excessive pressure strains them, both leading to leaks.

Blockages from debris increase pressure, and temperature fluctuations can cause pipes to crack. Improper installation and degraded seals also contribute, as does accidental damage. Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial for preventing costly water damage and repairs.

How do I know if I have a leak in my home?

Detecting a leak in your home early is crucial for preventing extensive damage and costly repairs.

Signs to watch for include a sudden increase in your water bill, damp or moldy areas in walls or floors, ongoing water meter activity when all sources are off, decreased water pressure, sounds of running water, visible water damage like stains or warping, musty odors, and wet patches in your yard.

If you suspect a leak but can’t locate it, hiring a professional plumber for a thorough inspection is recommended to address issues promptly, saving money in the long term.
