Specialists in Leak Detection & Burst Pipes

Burst Pipes are no joke. We are fully qualified to repair it the RIGHT way. Burst pipes can sneak up on you, slowly leaking water for weeks or months without notice…and then you receive an alarmingly expensive water bill. On the other hand, massive pipe bursts can cause damage quickly and require instant repair.

How do I know if I have a leak?

Not all leaks are obvious, and they can be secretly burning a hole in your wallet. One of the easiest ways to test for a hidden leak is to turn off your entire water supply. If your water meter continues to rise, then you know there is a leak hidden somewhere.

There are some common household areas you can check regularly for leaks to avoid unwanted water charges. For example:

Toilet — Remove the cover over the cistern and listen closely. Leaks tend to be accompanied by a low hissing sound. Also check to see if there is leaking down the back of the toilet bowl itself.

Shower — Shower heads can become clogged and actually hide evidence of a leak until they overflow. Remove the head regularly to clean it and check for unwanted water back ups.

Outdoor Taps — If your outdoor taps are leaking you will often find growth around it. This will be especially noticeable when the weather has been dry. If your tap is surrounded by grass or other foliage, this is a sure sign of leaking. Double check there are no holes in your hoses or irrigation systems.

Many things can cause leaks, but copper pipes tend to cause even more issues because they can become brittle and weak over time. If you continue to experience leaks you may want to look into replacing your pipes with something more sturdy, like plastic pipes. Contact us for a repair quote today.

I just wanted to say that Mark Unwin (Tap Doctor for Kingston, ACT) provided excellent service with my plumbing work at my apartment recently. He was punctual, and communicated clearly and regularly about the job and was clean, polite and professional!He was on time for the quote and work appointments and fixed everything exactly as needed! It was a pleasure to have him complete the work and all my sinks and toilets are running as new. I was very impressed with the service after losing my regular plumber when he moved overseas and I will definitely be using the Tap Doctor again for any further plumbing requirements in my house!Thank you so much!

Mark was brilliant/ our hot water tank split and we had no hot water (with a baby and toddler two days before Christmas!) he arrived only an hour after calling and diagnosed the issue. He completely replaced the hot water tank by the afternoon we had hot water again. Very pleasant and fairly priced. Would highly recommend.

Mark has always given the most professional plumbing service ever. His knowledge is excellent, he is on time or telephones if he is going to be late. We have had him out on many plumbing services/installations at our house over the last 12 years, and he is always a most professional person. I am happy to recommend him to anyone who needs a plumber.

Had Mark out last week to fix some water hammer and leaking taps and a leaking toilet. He went around and checked out the problems and gave us a up front quote, which was very well priced. Thanks Mark, the taps and toilet are fixed and the water hammer has gone!!! This is the 3rd time we have used The Tap Doctor and we have recommended The Tap Doctor to friend and they also have been very happy. One thing my wife was very happy about was that he took his boots off without being ask!!Will use and recommend Mark and The Tap Doctor again.
