The sandy soil in the area often causes leaks to go unnoticed until a high water bill arrives. Our advanced technology ensures we find leaks fast, allowing us to repair and restore your property efficiently.

How Can You Detect A Water Leak

  1. Turn off all taps, including the washing machine, dishwasher, and irrigation system.
  2. Record or photograph your water meter reading.
  3. Wait at least one hour, then check the meter again. If the reading has changed, you may have a leak.

If a concealed water leak has led to a sudden spike in your water bill, you may qualify for a Concealed Leak Allowance from Unitywater. After we repair the leak, we’ll provide the necessary form to apply for a reduction on your bill.

Contact us for expert leak detection and assistance with your concealed leak allowance.

What Should You Look For?

Water leaks can often go unnoticed until they cause significant damage. Here are some common signs to watch for:

  • Unexplained Increase in Water Bills: A sudden spike in your water bill without increased usage can indicate a hidden leak.
  • Damp or Mouldy Spots: Wet patches on walls, ceilings, or floors may point to a leak behind the surface.
  • Low Water Pressure: Reduced water pressure could mean a leak in the plumbing system.
  • Sounds of Running Water: If you hear water running even when all taps are off, it could be a sign of a concealed leak.
  • Soggy or Sunken Areas Outdoors: Persistently damp or muddy areas in your yard might suggest an underground leak.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to act fast to prevent further damage.
