How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Hidden Water Leak Warning Signs
Hidden water leaks can be difficult to detect but often reveal themselves through these warning signs:
- ✔ Unexplained increases in water bills that aren't tied to seasonal usage or rate changes
- ✔ The sound of running water when no fixtures or appliances are in use
- ✔ Damp or wet spots on walls, ceilings, or floors that can't be attributed to spills or humidity
- ✔ Visible mold or mildew growth, especially in areas that typically stay dry
- ✔ Warm spots on floors that might indicate a hot water line leak underneath
- ✔ Water meter movement when all water sources in your home are turned off
- ✔ Reduced water pressure throughout your home or in specific fixtures
- ✔ Foundation cracks or unexplained pooling water around your property
If you notice any of these signs, it's crucial to have a professional plumber inspect your home promptly. A&G Plumbing uses specialized leak detection equipment including acoustic listening devices, moisture meters, and video inspection cameras to locate hidden leaks without causing unnecessary damage to your property.
