Water leaks aren’t just inconvenient; they can be a serious problem for the structure of your home. Unfortunately, many leaks aren’t visible to homeowners, instead remaining hidden and undetected.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Water Leak
Sometimes leaks, such as from a burst pipe, are hard to miss. But hidden leaks are actually the most common form of leaks, and they cause costly damage to homeowners each year. For this reason, it’s important to be able to spot the signs of a potential hidden water leak so it can be fixed as soon as possible.
Here are some signs you may have a hidden water leak:
Higher Water Bills
Are you suddenly experiencing weird increases in your home’s water bill? This is one of the biggest signs you have a leak somewhere.
Damage and Discoloration
Have you noticed patches of discoloration on your walls or ceiling? Is there a section of wall or ceiling where the paint is peeling, blistering or bubbling?
Mold or Mildew
Does your basement, bathroom, or laundry room have a moldy or mildew smell? Often we smell mold and mildew before we see it.
Odd Sounds
Are you hearing the sound of water running even though there is no running water? Any gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from behind your walls or cabinets?
If you’ve noticed any of these leak signs, it’s important to call in a professional plumber to find and repair your leak as soon as possible.
Foundation Damage
Is your home’s foundation developing cracks in the walls or floor?
