Water main leaks outside your property can be difficult to detect because they are often buried deeply underground. But don’t worry, there are some signs you can look out for. If you notice any of these indicators, it’s likely that you have a leaking water main. And remember, the more signs you spot, the higher the chances of a larger leak. It’s important to address the issue promptly because the longer it goes untreated, the more damage it can cause to your property and your wallet.
If you happen to notice a sudden decrease in water pressure in your property, and there are no other explanations such as someone using a tap in another room, it could mean that you have a water mains leak. Typically, the larger the drop in water pressure, the bigger the leak could be, as it is diverting water from other areas. To eliminate the possibility of a problem in the local area, it's a good idea to check with your neighbors and see if they are also experiencing a loss of pressure. Don't just assume it's an issue isolated to your house.
If you're suddenly hit with a sky-high water bill and there's no obvious explanation like your cousin's extended stay or your impromptu Olympic-sized swimming pool, chances are there's a sneaky water leak lurking somewhere on your property. Remember, every single drop of water that flows through your place is meticulously tracked and charged to you. Normally, water bills are pretty consistent, so when yours starts playing the role of a high-roller, it's time to call in the experts at ADI Leak Detection. They'll sniff out that leak like bloodhounds on a mission, saving you from a watery disaster and a drained bank account.
If you turn on your tap and see the alarming sight of discoloured water it's possible you have a leaking water main pipe. If the water main pipe is cracked this can allow debris and soil to enter the pipe and contaminate your water supply. Do not drink this water as you cant be sure what has seeped into it and it could be harmful, instead aim to have this issue resolved quickly so your supply can go back to normal with safe, clean drinking water. ADI Leak Detection aims to find the source of the leak and repair it the very same day.
Water puddling on the surface of your lawn, patio or drive on a day where there has been no rain has to have come from somewhere and points towards an underground water mains leak. As the soil becomes saturated it can’t absorb anymore water and so it can start to flow up into your garden. The moment you notice water puddling outside your home without a known source it's time to instruct the help of an expert to diagnose the problem and get it fixed fast ! Water puddling can often be the most obvious sign you have a leaking water main.
If your lawn suddenly becomes incredibly lush and vibrant during a dry spell, or if you notice patches of mold, moss, or sogginess in certain areas, there's a good chance that the water mains pipe buried underground has sprung a leak. While this may initially seem like a boon for avid gardeners, the truth is that a burst or leaking water main can actually cause substantial damage to your property. And the longer you ignore it, the more expensive and troublesome the issue becomes.
Water runs through your water main pipes constantly but you normally can’t hear the noise it's making due to the pipes muffling the sounds in the closed off system. If the pipe has a leak you may be able to hear the water running through the pipe. You may hear a bubbling noise as the water escapes through the crack that is breaching the pipe. Or there may be a whistling noise, a hissing or a spraying noice. Whatever water noise you hear it's important to have it investigated quickly, as a leakage is never a good thing.
Many people mistakenly believe that if there is a leak in the mains water, it is the responsibility of the water supply company to fix it. However, it is important to note that any leaks in the pipework within your property or boundaries are the homeowner’s responsibility, regardless of whether the leak is from the water mains or not.
Another concern with mains water leaks is that they can be more problematic than traditional home leaks due to the higher water pressure and the larger volume of water that can escape in a short period of time. Additionally, these leaks can be hidden deep underground, making it difficult to detect. As a result, most people only realize the issue when their water bill unexpectedly skyrockets.

When it comes to dealing with water main supply pipes that are buried deep underground, we've got a nifty trick up our sleeves - acoustic listening devices!
You see, sound has this amazing ability to travel long distances. And guess what? Our acoustic listening devices are super skilled at detecting the exact source of a leak within a range of up to 2.5 meters.
Thanks to this incredible technology, we can easily pinpoint the pesky leak and make the repair process a breeze. No need for invasive procedures here! We'll handle it efficiently and in the most non-invasive way possible.
Leak correlation detectors are super cool electronic gadgets that can find leaks in pressurized pipes, even if we don't know exactly where the leak is. They work by using two or more really sensitive sensors that are strategically placed on the pipe, right near where we think the leak might be. These sensors can pick up the sounds made by the fluids escaping from the pipe. Then, all that data gets sent to a processing unit, which uses fancy math to figure out how far away each sensor is from the source of the noise.
Isn't that amazing? These detectors are like detectives, searching for clues and solving the mystery of the leaky pipe. With their help, we can find and fix leaks faster and more efficiently. So next time you hear a strange noise coming from a pipe, remember that there's a clever little device out there, listening and calculating, ready to help us out.
