What is a Water Leak?

There are different types of water leaks, including leaks from burst or damaged pipes, roof leaks, and leaking drains or fixtures. They can originate either inside or outside of the building and may affect a range of areas, including walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors and specific rooms.

There are a wide variety of causes, from ageing or corroded pipes or fixtures, tree roots blocking pipes, accidental damage (for instance when a garden shovel goes too deep and hits a pipe), or high water pressure.

Signs of a water leak include but are not limited to the below.

  • Dampness or damp smells
  • Discoloured stains or spots inside
  • Puddles or water drips inside
  • Unusually wet areas outside
  • Cracks in plaster or peeling paint
  • Buckling or swelling floorboards
  • Constantly running taps or toilets
  • Gurgling noises from drains
  • Low water pressure
  • Unusually expensive power bills
It’s important to identify and repair water leaks as soon as possible to prevent health risks or potential damage, including mould or mildew problems, structural damage, fire damage, water contamination and pests.

What Is a Gas Leak?

Usually, when people talk about gas leaks, they are referring to natural gas leaks. These leaks generally occur when the gas escapes a pipe or other container and affects the surrounding environment. This escaping gas is a potential safety risk to people, animals and plants nearby.

There is also a wide range of causes for gas leaks, including damage to or corrosion of the pipes that transport gas from utility storage facilities to buildings, damaged or incorrectly installed indoor pipes, or problems with indoor gas appliances such as hot water heaters.

Signs of a gas leak include but are not limited to the below.

  • Unusually high/expensive power bills
  • Gas appliances or systems that aren’t working as they should
  • Heaters or hot water systems that take too long to heat up or replenish
  • A hissing sound, or the smell of rotten eggs
  • Physical symptoms such as headaches, dizziness or nausea

Natural gas leaks and other gas leaks can be very dangerous, as they involve flammable substances with the potential to combust and explode. Gas leaks can also create a range of health problems for people, animals and plants.
