Common Causes of Water Supply Pipe Leaks
 

If you're dealing with a leaking water supply pipe problem we’re here to help. Our engineers will assess the issue and implement long-term solutions to avoid recurring leaks or damage.

Here are some of the most common reasons why water supply pipes may leak:
​

​Age and Material of Pipes
 

Older water pipes are more susceptible to corrosion, particularly if they were installed before the 1980s. Many older pipes are made of cast iron, which lacks the flexibility to withstand temperature changes effectively. Over time, this can lead to cracks and leaks in the pipe.

​

Changes in Water Pressure
 

Sudden increases in water pressure can strain supply pipes, causing damage. If the pressure exceeds the pipe's capacity, it can lead to leaks, cracks, or even a complete pipe burst. This can result in water damage, increased utility bills, and costly repairs.
 

Accidental Damage During Excavation
 

Excavation work on your property can sometimes unintentionally damage underground water supply pipes. Digging equipment or machinery can puncture or crack pipes, leading to leaks and disruption to your water supply.

Temperature Fluctuations
 

Extreme temperature changes can affect the integrity of water supply pipes. In cold weather, frozen ground can expand, putting additional pressure on pipes. Conversely, in hot weather, soil shifting due to drying can also stress pipes. These cycles can lead to cracks or bursts, making regular maintenance crucial to prevent failures.

Impact from Heavy Vehicles
 

Heavy vehicles driving over shallowly buried pipes can cause significant stress, leading to cracks or deformation. Vibrations from traffic can also destabilise the ground around the pipes, increasing the likelihood of leaks or damage. Regular inspections in high-traffic areas can help identify potential risks early.
