Burst Water Main
Who is responsible?
If the water main is leaking on you side of the property from where the water meter is located then it is your responsibility to get it fixed and you need to contact us urgently.
If the leak is from the roadside or over the fence then you need to contact water care
Loose Water Connectors
Sometimes the hoses and pipes that supply your appliances with water become loose, causing a leak. Often, loose water connectors occur due to shifting.
For example, your washing machine hose may spring a leak due to shaking during the spin cycle.
Sullivan Plumbing have leak detection equipment that can quickly and accurately find the source of leaks.
Even if the leak is under concrete or behind a wall. Ground microphones or listening discs are acoustic listening devices that a plumber uses to find leaks.
Leaky Taps
A dripping tap or leaking tap usually means that the tap washer needs renewing.
But it can also be caused by a damaged valve seating. If the drip is from a mixer nozzle, then both tap washers will need replacing.
Hot Water Cylinder Leaking
Most hot water cylinders last between 10 to 13 years.
And if one is leaking from the bottom of the tank inside the burner compartment, old age might be the cause.
This is caused by years of sediment building up in the bottom of the hot water cylinder.
Eventually, the bottom of the tank will rust through and begin to leak
Water Leak in Driveway
Water main leaks can occur for a variety of reasons, primarily leaks are caused from high-velocity water wearing down the internal wall of your plastic pipe.
Eventually, the pipe weakens, and a pinhole is formed allowing high-pressure water to burst out.
