Leak repair and leak detection support in Gauteng.

Not all plumbing leaks are obvious. A dripping tap you can see is one thing — a slow leak behind a tiled wall, under a concrete slab, or inside a ceiling void is something else entirely. Hidden leaks can run for weeks or months before anyone notices, and by then the damage can be extensive: rotten timber, mould growth, damaged plaster, swollen cupboards, and water bills that are suddenly much higher than expected.

Common signs of a hidden leak include unexplained damp patches on walls or ceilings, bubbling or peeling paint, musty smells in cupboards or near bathrooms, the sound of running water when no taps are on, and a water meter that keeps turning even when everything in the house is switched off. If you notice any of these, do not wait — the longer a hidden leak runs, the more expensive the eventual repair. A small leak that could have been fixed with a simple pipe repair can become a major renovation if left unchecked.

I Plumb helps Gauteng homeowners and businesses find and fix leaks — from visible dripping pipes and taps to concealed leaks that need systematic investigation. While specialist electronic leak detection equipment may be needed for some underground or in-slab leaks, many hidden leaks can be identified through careful inspection of visible signs, water meter testing, and isolating sections of the plumbing system. Once found, the repair is usually straightforward.
