Signs of a Water Leak
If you have water spewing from your faucets or a pipe that has burst, then it’s clear you have a plumbing leak. However, most leaks are hidden and require a professional to accurately determine the location and cause of the leak. Early leak detection is crucial for minimizing damage, so it’s important to look out for signs of a water leak, otherwise you might not know you have one.
Signs of a water leak include:
- Running water meter: Your water meter is designed to run when water is being used, so if you turn everything off and your water meter isn’t sitting at zero, you probably have a leak.
- High utility bills: If your water bills indicate you’re using more water than you actually are, you may have a leak increasing your bills.
- Water stains: Water stains on ceilings, walls, and floors are a sign you may have a hidden leak in those areas.
- Excess moisture: Be on the lookout for humidity, mold, mildew, and damp smells. Excess moisture in your home can be caused by pipe leaks.
- Low water pressure: Leaks can impact the flow of water through your pipes, so low water pressure could indicate a leak somewhere.

Leak Detection & Repair FAQs
Locating and repairing plumbing leaks is a complex task that requires specialized tools, training, and technology. Attempting to DIY something like this can create more damage than the leak was causing in the first place. Hidden plumbing leaks can be caused by corrosion, improper installation of pipes or fixtures, loose seals or fittings, excessively high water pressure, tree root infiltration, and your home’s foundation settling or shifting. You can prevent water leaks by regularly inspecting pipes and fittings for signs of wear and tear, monitoring your water pressure, insulating exposed pipes, keeping drains clear, and installing a water softener.Why should I hire a professional for leak detection services?
