Water Leak Detection Facts

  • A faint hissing sound could indicate a water leak in a pipe.
  • Water loss of 1 liter per minute amounts to about 40 000 liters a month.
  • Tiny leaks with a diameter of 0.5cm can cause roughly 500 liters of water loss per day.
  • Water leaks often start small, giving little to no indication on a water meter.
  • As water pressure fluctuates, however, leaks can grow or even burst.
  • Some water leaks will never be visible on the surface, regardless of their size.
  • Below the surface, pathways may wind past rock fragments and through the ground without ever surfacing.
  • South Africa’s estimated annual water loss is 1.1 million liters, amounting to nearly R10 billion per year.

Reduce the Chance of Leaks

Rainfall and dam levels vary in South Africa, making water a scarce resource. This is why being water-wise is so vital. Here are ways to limit the chance of water wastage at your home or business.

  • Review your water usage monthly to discover leaks quickly.
  • Regularly check for pipe leaks on your property and repair them swiftly.
  • Open and close taps lightly but securely to minimize leaking and replace washers when leaks occur.
  • Know where the main water valves are on your private or business property. This knowledge will be invaluable if a pipe bursts unexpectedly.
  • Educate your family and friends on reading a water meter and checking for water leaks.
