Water leaks outdoors? Here's what to do

 


The first things to do

When you first notice that there is an outdoor water leak, it is important to determine what equipment or system is leaking. This will help determine the type of professional who should intervene in your home. For example, if you notice a puddle of water in your garden when the irrigation system is running and it no longer occurs when the sprinkler system is turned off, it is probably best to call an irrigation company. On the other hand, if you notice water leaking from the pool system, it is probably best to call an irrigation company. However, if you notice a leak from external water intakes, the main water line or riser, or any other plumbing system, the best person to call is a licensed plumber. In this way, it is possible to determine the type of professional to call, saving time and money.

Once you have determined which system is leaking, see if there is a shut-off valve that can be closed until the professional comes to repair it. For most irrigation systems, water purification systems or the main line, there should be a shut-off valve that controls the flow of water to that particular appliance or system.

Mysterious outdoor leaks

Some of us homeowners have experienced a 'mystery leak'. A mystery leak normally occurs when there is an excessive amount of water in the yard, but the actual location or source of the leak is elusive. This type of leak may require further diagnosis or leak detection to determine where the problem lies. This is where an authorised technician can help. The technician has the necessary tools and experience to assist in diagnosis, leak detection and/or repair.

Troubleshooting water heater problems: Noisy pipes

When you start hearing noises in the water pipes, these can be caused by air or lack of air, obstructions and blockages in the water line. Here are some steps you can take to identify the problem. Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve.

You can rule out water hammer if you hear the noise while the water is flowing. Shut off the water supply to your house and drain the water from the pipes by opening a low tap, such as an outside tap or a tub. Turn off all taps and turn the water back on in the house by opening a tap and closing it. If you do not hear the clunk noise, the problem is a water hammer.
