Some household water Pipe leak are easy to spot…either by sight, sound, or both. Those can’t do any damage or waste very much water unless you allow them to.
But what about pipe leak inside a wall, under your flooring, in the ceiling, and other places where they can go undetected long enough to cause major damage.
So, to help you prevent or minimize damage resulting from hidden pipe leak, here are signs to look out for:
- Water bills that seem unusually high.
- Water meter readings that change even when no water is being used.
- Chronic sewer backups.
- Running toilets.
- Running water sounds when no water source, not even the toilet in question, is in use.
- Spongy, soft, or discolored walls.
- Musty odors from floors, walls near drains, or sewers.
- Cracked or unusually damp foundation or slab.
- Warm areas on concrete floors, mildew, or excess moisture under carpets.
- Unusually wet or moist areas in your yard.
