Water Loss - High Water Bill

A sudden spike in your water bill can be frustrating and worrying for any homeowner. Often, these unexpected costs are caused by hidden leaks that go unnoticed until they create significant water loss. At Sydney Plumbing and Detection, we specialise in finding and fixing concealed leaks before they drain your wallet and damage your property.

Why High Water Bills Indicate Water Loss

Water bills usually remain steady unless your household usage changes drastically. If you notice a sudden increase without explanation, it’s a strong indicator of an underlying problem. Hidden leaks in walls, under floors, or underground pipes can waste thousands of litres of water every year. Apart from financial strain, they can also cause structural damage, mould growth, and long-term property issues.

Common Causes of Hidden Leaks

1. Underground Pipe Leaks – Corroded or damaged water lines beneath your property can leak silently for months.
2. Toilet Leaks – A constantly running toilet may seem minor, but it can waste hundreds of litres daily.
3. Leaking Taps and Fixtures – Small drips may appear insignificant but add up quickly on your water bill.
4. Hot Water System Faults – Faulty valves or internal tank leaks often go unnoticed until bills rise.
5. Wall and Slab Leaks – Hidden leaks within walls or concrete slabs are difficult to spot without professional detection.

Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
