Leak Detection Mentone

Yes, galvanised pipes commonly installed in Mentone homes between 1940-1970 are highly susceptible to leaks due to corrosion. These pipes typically last 40-70 years before developing serious issues. The combination of age, clay soil movement, and coastal proximity accelerates deterioration, making regular leak detection services essential for older properties.

Unexpected increases in your South East Water bill often indicate hidden leaks before visible damage appears. Bills arriving every three months can delay leak discovery, making damage more extensive.
