Common Signs of a Leak

Some leaks are easy to detect because they are visible. However, many leaks occur in concealed pipes and are hard to find. You may notice the symptoms of a hidden leak before you actually see the leak. Knowing the signs of a leak can help you get the help you need, so the problem doesn’t get worse.

Common signs of a leak include:

• Unexplained increase in your water bill – If your water bill is going up, but you haven’t increased your water usage, a leak may be the cause. A hidden leak can waste a lot of water, running up your water bill.
• Running water sound – If you hear the sound of running water, when all the faucets are off, it may be the sound of a hidden leak in a supply pipe. The sound may be coming from the walls, floors, or ceiling of your home.
• Low water pressure – If the water pressure suddenly drops, it may be the result of a leak. A leak in a supply pipe can cause a drop in water pressure.
• Stains on the ceiling or walls – A leak in a pipe inside a wall or ceiling can cause water stains. If you notice a stain on the ceiling or walls, it may be a sign of a leak.
• Musty odor – Mold and mildew thrive in damp areas. If you notice a musty smell in your home, it may be the result of a hidden leak. The leak may be causing mold and mildew to grow, which can produce an unpleasant odor.
• Mold or mildew growth – Mold and mildew thrive in damp areas. A hidden leak in a supply pipe can create the perfect conditions for mold and mildew to grow. If you notice mold or mildew growing on the walls or ceilings of your home, you may have a hidden leak.

Preventing Leaks

While some leaks are the result of an unavoidable plumbing problem, many leaks can be prevented with a little care. Leaks can happen anywhere in your plumbing system, including under the sinks, in the walls, and in the sewer line. Our plumbers offer tips to help you prevent leaks and detect them early, so they can be repaired before they cause significant damage.

Here are some tips to help prevent leaks:

• Watch what you put in the drains – The drains are not designed to accommodate everything. Avoid putting grease, coffee grounds, food waste, and other things that don’t belong in the drains. Install drain screens to catch hair and other debris before it goes down the drain.
• Don’t use the toilet as a trash can – The toilet is not the place for trash. Putting things that don’t belong in the toilet can cause a clog in the sewer line.
• Inspect plumbing appliances regularly – Plumbing appliances, such as the washing machine and dishwasher, have supply and drain lines. Inspect the lines regularly for signs of wear or damage. Replace the lines when needed.
• Inspect the plumbing system annually – Many plumbing problems start small and get worse over time. An annual plumbing inspection can help you catch problems early, so they can be repaired before they cause significant damage.
