Can small water leaks go undetected for long periods?
Yes, small leaks can easily go unnoticed, especially when hidden behind walls, under flooring, or in ceilings. Over time, these minor leaks can cause major damage, including mould growth, rotting timber, and structural issues. Signs of hidden leaks include musty smells, damp spots, discoloured paint, or warped flooring. You might also hear dripping or running water even when taps are turned off. Routine plumbing maintenance and the use of thermal cameras or moisture meters help detect hidden leaks early. Catching them in the early stages is critical to preventing long-term damage and reducing costly repair bills later on.
Why does my tap keep dripping even after I’ve turned it off?
A dripping tap is usually caused by a worn-out washer, O-ring, or cartridge inside the tap mechanism. Over time, these small components degrade due to friction and water pressure, preventing the tap from sealing properly. In mixer taps, ceramic discs can also become damaged or misaligned. While the drip may seem minor, it can waste hundreds of litres of water over time and lead to higher utility bills. Replacing these internal parts is generally a straightforward repair. If the issue persists after attempting a fix, a licensed plumber can assess whether the tap needs reseating or full replacement for long-term performance.
How can I reduce energy costs from my hot water system?
Reducing energy use from your hot water system starts with setting the thermostat to an efficient but safe temperature — generally around 60°C for storage systems. If your system is old, consider upgrading to a newer, more efficient model, such as a heat pump or solar unit with electric or gas boosters. Insulating your pipes and tank can also help retain heat and reduce loss. For continuous flow systems, maintaining the unit ensures efficient operation. Regular servicing removes sediment build-up and detects faults early. Using water-saving showerheads and reducing hot water use in laundry cycles can also cut running costs.
