Water leaks can be detrimental to any business site, no matter how big or small they are. In some cases, they can also temporarily close down a business until the problem is fixed.

Water leaks are not immediately noticeable, which is what makes them difficult to detect and discover sooner.

Unfortunately, in most cases, the problem is only detected when the water leak has worsened.

At Avon Water services, we speak to many commercial site owners who experience water leaks on their premises; however, they do not indicate to suggest that the water leak could be a potential problem.

So, to address this issue, Avon Water Service has put together a few indicators to suggest you may have a water leak problem!

Inconsistent Water Bill

Regardless of the industry, it’s important to keep a record of expenses to understand the profitability of the business. 

Most business sites have a water meter installed, so a sudden increase in water bills can suggest there may be a leak somewhere. To eliminate general usage, you can take an initial meter reading and use the water as usual, and then do the same the following month to notice the difference.

This process can also help professionals detect the root of the leak.

Remember, water leaks can cause a detrimental effect on annual bills. If a recent bill is causing a head scratch, get expert advice from one of our water leak specialists. 

Commercial Water Leak Causing Internal Damage

Some of the most obvious signs of water damage are:

• Wet patches on walls
• Wall discoloration
• Staining
• Damp areas
• Strange odour
• Mould/mildew

Strange smells and wet patches are the most common water leak detectors. In some cases, the extent of the smell can make workplaces inhospitable. This can negatively impact not only the business but also the health of the employees.

You may also notice warped flooring, loose doors and windows. All of these would suggest there is a water leak that needs immediate attention from professionals. 

At Avon Water Services, we offer emergency call-outs, where we can come and assess the situation before it gets worse!

Strange Sounds

Occasionally, water leaks can be heard as water drips through the plumbing system. Low water pressure can also create strange sounds that can be heard through the walls or ceilings.

Losing water, but no sign of a leak? It might be time to call an expert.
