Why Leak Detection is Crucial for Your Home
Not all leaks are obvious. Hidden behind walls, under floors, or beneath your home’s foundation, some leaks can go unnoticed for weeks or even months. Over time, they can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and higher water bills. That’s why professional leak detection is essential — it finds the problem early before it becomes an expensive disaster.
Signs You Have a Plumbing Leak
Even if you can’t see a leak, there are often warning signs. Identifying these early can help you avoid water damage, protect your property, and reduce repair costs.
- Unexplained increase in water bills: A sudden spike in your water bill often signals a hidden leak.
- Musty or damp smells: Persistent odors can indicate mold or mildew caused by leaking water.
- Visible water damage: Stains, bubbling paint, or warped flooring are common signs of a hidden leak.
- Mold or mildew growth: Moisture from leaks creates a perfect environment for mold.
- Running water sounds: If you hear running water when no taps are on, it could mean a pipe is leaking somewhere.
- Low water pressure: Leaks can reduce the water pressure at your fixtures.
- Water heater issues: Puddles or foul odors around your water heater, rust or corrosion anywhere on the unit, and inconsistent hot water can all be signs of a leak.
