Common types of water leaks we've seen in Adelaide Metro area homes and businesses
Adelaide Metro’s combination of heritage homes, modern developments, and commercial precincts presents unique plumbing challenges.
Our services are tailored to address these specific challenges, ensuring Adelaide Metro’s homes and businesses stay leak-free.
Here are some key issues affecting homes and businesses in the Adelaide Metro area.
Many older homes and businesses in Adelaide City and Port Adelaide still rely on outdated plumbing systems, including galvanised iron pipes that are prone to rusting and leaks. These ageing systems often struggle to handle modern water usage, leading to increased risk of pipe failures.
Adelaide’s older suburbs, such as Norwood and Prospect, have heritage homes with aging pipes that corrode over time, leading to leaks. Meanwhile, high-rise developments in the CBD frequently experience water pressure inconsistencies that can stress plumbing systems and cause undetected leaks in walls and floors.
Adelaide Metro’s expanding urban footprint has placed increased pressure on ageing water infrastructure. Some areas experience fluctuating water pressure, pipe bursts, and hidden leaks due to growing demand and older mains struggling to keep up with modern usage levels.
Older apartment complexes in areas like Glenelg and Adelaide City have outdated plumbing that struggles with fluctuating occupancy levels and high water demand. These ageing systems are prone to pressure inconsistencies, undetected slab leaks, and burst pipes.
The city’s hot summers and wet winters cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to fractures, slow leaks, and sudden pipe bursts. Prolonged dry periods can also increase soil movement, which puts stress on underground pipes and can lead to misalignment and leaks.
Large trees in well-established suburbs have extensive root systems that frequently invade underground plumbing. These roots can wrap around or penetrate pipes, causing blockages, cracks, and significant leaks that require professional removal and repair.
Areas near the Torrens River, West Lakes, and Port Adelaide are prone to poor drainage and occasional flooding. Excess water can weaken underground infrastructure, leading to undetected leaks, pipe displacement, and soil erosion that further stresses plumbing systems
