Burst pipes behind the walls, leaking toilets or leaking hot water heaters could be some of the possibilities besides leaking taps, that can help you answer where is all the water going when your consumption is the same!

A sudden spike in your utility bills could indicate an over-flowing safety valve of your water heating system. Since your system is continuously losing large amounts of hot water, it takes up more energy to reheat the cold water flowing in. More energy consumption automatically results in high energy bills

A leaky tab or dripping tap normally means the tap requires renewing, however may also be caused by damaged valve seating. Our leak detection professionals are the best at identifying the source of leaking water in your home. Speak to us about your leak and we will advise you of the best strategy to either repair or replace.

This is usually due to a sediment build up in your tank. As hot water systems get older, they accumulate sediment and lime deposits. If these deposits are not removed periodically, the sediment will create a barrier between the burner and the water, greatly reducing the hot water systems performance level. The result is an increase in the amount of energy required to deliver hot water.

There are a couple of reasons why this happens.  But usually it comes down to poor venting or no venting of the toilet fixture . Vents allow for airflow to the toilet sewage system. Without the vent, air pockets form in the waste branches, which cause what, is called back-siphonage. The air in the system, without a vent, can only escape through the sewer and drags the water in the trap with it. We can fix this for you.
