- A high water bill
- Unexplainable wet floors or walls
- The noise of running water even when the taps are off
- Water stains on the walls and ceilings
- Paint peeling off the walls or skirting boards
- Saggy ceiling
- Moulds and mildew near wet areas such as your bathrooms, kitchen and laundry

Simple ways to prevent water leakage at home
These are easy-to-follow techniques that you can do at home to mitigate the risk and damage associated with water leaks:
- Regularly check your drains and sinks for leaks and cracks.
- Shut the water main off if you are going away for a while. Even the slightest leak may lead to damage later.
- If you get leaks regularly, consider installing a leak detector in your house. These devices trigger an alarm as soon as they detect water leakage. They come with various features like temperature sensors, smart home integration, WiFi capabilities, and phone alerts.
- If you notice your water pressure drop and it lasts for more than a day, check the Water Corporation’s website for any outages and follow their instructions for undertaking a check: https://www.watercorporation.com.au/Help-and-advice/Water-issues/Water-pressure/Low-water-pressure
