An unexpectedly high water bill often points to a hidden leak in your plumbing system. Leaking taps, running toilets or small cracks in underground pipes can waste significant amounts of water over time. Even a slow drip from a tap can add up to hundreds of litres of wasted water each month.

Other potential causes include seasonal changes, such as increased outdoor water usage during warmer months or malfunctioning appliances like washing machines and dishwashers. If you can’t identify an obvious source of water usage, it’s best to call a plumber. They can perform a leak detection service to pinpoint the problem and ensure it’s resolved quickly to prevent further waste and expense.

Yes, tree roots are a common cause of plumbing issues, especially in older homes with clay or concrete pipes. Roots are naturally drawn to the moisture and nutrients in sewer and water lines and they can penetrate small cracks or joints in pipes over time. Once inside, they grow and expand, causing blockages, leaks and even pipe collapse in severe cases.

Signs of root intrusion include slow drains, frequent blockages, or gurgling noises from your pipes. If you suspect tree roots are affecting your plumbing, a professional plumber can inspect the pipes using a drain camera and recommend solutions like high-pressure water jetting or pipe relining to repair the damage without extensive excavation. Regular maintenance is key to preventing root-related issues.
