Frequently Asked Questions About Water Leaks?

Finding the source of a water leak can be tricky, especially if it’s hidden behind walls or underground, but here are some common ways to tell where it’s coming from:

  • Visible Signs: Look for water stains on ceilings, walls, or floors. Peeling paint, bubbling wallpaper, or warped flooring can also indicate a leak behind the surface.
  • Sound of Running Water: If you hear water running when no taps are on, that’s a red flag—especially in quiet areas like basements or behind walls.
  • Damp or Wet Areas: Check under sinks, around toilets, behind appliances, and in cabinets for any unexplained moisture.
  • Mould or Mildew: Persistent musty smells or visible mould growth often point to a slow, hidden leak.

For hard-to-find leaks, professional plumbers use tools like thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, and moisture detectors to pinpoint the exact location without causing damage.

If your water is leaking, here are the key steps to take right away to minimize damage and get it fixed quickly:

  • Turn Off the Water Supply:
    Locate your main water shut-off valve (usually near the water meter or where the main pipe enters your home) and turn it off to stop the flow of water.
  • Turn Off Electricity if Needed:
    If water is near electrical outlets or appliances, turn off power at the circuit breaker to avoid the risk of electrocution.
  • Drain the Taps:
    Open cold taps to drain remaining water in the pipes and reduce pressure. If the leak is from a hot water pipe, turn off your water heater as well.
  • Contain the Leak:
    Use towels, buckets, or containers to catch leaking water and prevent further damage to floors and walls.
  • Inspect the Source (If Safe):
    Try to identify where the leak is coming from—like under a sink, from a pipe joint, or an appliance hose—but avoid taking apart anything unless you’re confident.
  • Call a Professional Plumber:
    Contact a licensed plumber (like GME Plumbing) to assess and repair the issue properly. Quick professional intervention can save you from costly damage.
  • Document Any Damage:
    If the leak causes significant damage, take photos and notes for insurance purposes.
  • Leaks on Your Property
    Inside Your Home or Garden: If the leak is within your property boundaries—such as dripping taps, leaking toilets, or burst pipes—you should contact a licensed plumber for repairs.
  • Between Your Water Meter and the Street: If the leak is on your property’s pipes between the water meter and the street, or involves a leaking water meter or meter tap, Sydney Water may be responsible for the repair. In such cases, contact Sydney Water or call 24/7 faults hotline at 13 20 90.
