Plumbing Tip: - Locating Leaking Pipes

If you receive an unusually high water bill, then there is a possibility that your pipes are leaking. In order to determine whether you have a leaking pipe, the first thing you need to do is to ensure that all the taps and faucets in your house are turned off. Once this is done, examine the water meter and see if it is still running. If the meter is still running, then it is confirmed that there is a leak somewhere.

Small leaks are sometimes hard to find, as they are not so obvious. To locate where the leak is, look for any of the following tell tale signs:

• water stains on the wall or ceiling
• patches or puffiness on the paintwork
• the sound of dripping water
• unusually wet tiles (for tiled surfaces)
