Hidden water leaks can go unnoticed for weeks or even months, leading to significant property damage. Understanding the potential causes can help you catch issues early. Some of the most common culprits include:
- Aging pipes – Over time, pipes weaken and become prone to leaks and bursts.
- Frozen pipes – Victoria’s winter temperatures can cause pipes to freeze and crack.
- Poor installation – Faulty pipe connections can lead to slow, unnoticed leaks.
- Tree root intrusion – Roots can grow into underground pipes, causing cracks and blockages.
- Pipe corrosion – Rust and mineral buildup weaken pipes, increasing the risk of leaks.
- Obstructions and pressure buildup – Blockages can lead to excessive pressure, forcing pipes to leak or burst.
