Leaking Pipes

While there’s little chance of you missing the signs of a broken water supply pipe, it’s easy to miss little leaks that steadily drip all day and night. Your first indicator of trouble could be bulging and flaking of plaster and paint or musty smells. The longer you leave it, the more costly your repairs will be. You can prevent long-term damage by checking your water supply for leaks. Check your meter, don’t use any water, and see whether the meter continues to register water usage after a few hours. If it does, there’s a leak somewhere, and you should have it attended to before it can damage your home or business premises.
