Drainage plumbing leaks can be located within a riser or slab floor and are normally due to either a leaking joint or cracked pipe, but can also sometimes result from a poorly fitted water trap

Domestic water supply leaks occur at joints or fittings; with all pipes being under pressure at between 2 and 4 bars, domestic pipe leaks can be hugely expensive

Roof water tank leaks can occur through seams or valves due to deterioration and float valves should always be monitored to prevent free flowing water

Bathroom water leaks can result from domestic water and overflow connections to both the bath or sink, as well as drainage pipe connections to the shower, sink and bath tub

Kitchen leaks consist mostly from drainage or domestic water pipes and fittings where water leakage can occur into walls and under floors

Utility room water leaks where washing machines and reserve white goods are installed can sometimes leak from the water supply or drainage connections
