At Exeter Plumbing, we specialise in the prompt detection and repair of water leaks across the Southern Highlands and Sydney. Our licensed and insured plumbers are equipped with advanced tools to accurately locate and fix leaks, ensuring minimal disruption to your property. Even minor leaks can lead to significant water wastage and increased utility bills. For instance, a tap dripping every second can waste approximately 3 litres of water daily. Beyond the financial implications, untreated leaks can cause structural damage and promote mould growth. Timely repairs not only conserve water but also protect your property's integrity.
Some water leaks are more visible and easy to identify than others. A leaking or dripping tap, toilet or shower for example can be easily identified. One of the most common signs of a water leak inside your walls is swelling or damp spots on walls, ceilings or floors. Prolonged leaks can cause mould and structural damages to your house so it is best to get any damp or swelling spots investigated as soon as possible. Reduced water pressure as well as an increased water bill are also tell tale signs that you may have a water leak. A common sign of a water leak outside is a damp, muddy or 'greener than usual' patch of lawn. Damp or unstable pavement or concrete is also a sign of a potential leak. If you suspect you have a water leak, the first step is to try and identify where it is coming from. Your local council is responsible for pipes from the water main, generally on the street, to your water meter. If the leak is within this diameter you will need to report the leak to your local council immediately. Leaks from the water meter to your house is the home owner’s responsibility. In this instance, if you own the house you will need to call a licensed plumber, such as Exeter Plumbing. If you are renting, you will need to phone your real estate agent or the owner of the property.
One of the simplest and easiest ways to tell if you have a water leak on your premises is to read your water meter.This can be done by turning off all taps and water-using devices on your property. This includes no flushing toilets, not using washing machines or dishwashers, automatic sprinklers etc.. Once you are confident all water-using devices are not in use, check your meter reading. We suggest writing it down or taking a picture. We recommend waiting for at least 30 minutes or even better overnight and checking the dial again. If the dial numbers have changed and you are confident that no water was intentionally used in the meantime then you may have a water leak. If this is the case, call us on 1300 155 944 and we will send one of our experts to find the leak and fix the issue for you.

Absolutely. We handle leak detection and repairs for homes, farms, businesses and commercial sites across the Southern Highlands—from Bowral and Moss Vale to Wingello, Exeter, Robertson and surrounding areas.
Leaks can be caused by ageing pipes, poor installation, ground movement, water pressure issues, corrosion, tree root intrusion or extreme weather conditions. A common cause in the Southern Highlands is the sudden drop in temperatures or when a big frost occurs. The freezing water inside pipes expand causing the pipes to crack.

In the Southern Highlands, freezing winter mornings often lead to burst pipes—especially after a big frost. When water freezes inside exposed or uninsulated pipes, it expands and can cause cracks or ruptures. 🚰
At Exeter Plumbing, we help local families and farms protect their homes from winter plumbing disasters. If you’ve had a burst pipe or want help winter-proofing your plumbing, give us a call today on 1300 155 944.
To minimise the risk of burst pipes during frosty mornings, make sure to insulate any exposed outdoor pipes and taps, especially around the garden and under your home. Disconnect garden hoses overnight and consider using tap coversfor added protection. It’s also wise to locate your main water shut-off valve so you can act quickly if a pipe does burst. Taking these simple precautions can help you avoid major water damage and costly repairs.
