Leak Detection: Finding Hidden Leaks Before They Cause Damage

Water leaks can be silent, slow, and destructive. Even a small, hidden leak behind a wall or under a slab can cause structural damage, promote mold growth, and lead to expensive repairs. The key to preventing major water damage is early leak detection.

Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak

Not all leaks are obvious. Here are some warning signs to watch for:

✔ Unexplained Water Bills – A sudden increase in your water bill could mean water is escaping somewhere.
✔ Low Water Pressure – A drop in pressure might indicate a leak in your pipes.
✔ Damp or Discolored Walls & Ceilings – Water stains or peeling paint can be signs of hidden moisture.
✔ Mold & Musty Smells – Persistent dampness can lead to mold growth, which can harm indoor air quality.
✔ Sound of Running Water – If you hear water running when no taps are on, a leak may be the cause.

Left unchecked, even minor leaks can lead to thousands of dollars in repairs.
