Not all water leaks are obvious. Sometimes a leak is in a plumbing line under the slab. A hidden leak often goes unnoticed until it has caused serious damage. Leaks that go untreated can cause structural damage, health issues, unnecessary costs, and more.
Here are some signs to look out for:
- Sound - Do you hear water running even when no water is being used?
- Higher water bill – Do you notice your water bill going up, without actually using more water?
- Foundation cracks – Are there cracks forming in your walls or flooring?
- Wet spots or hot spots – Are there any wet spots, discolored spots or hot spots on your floor or walls that appeared unexpectedly?

- Mildew - Is mildew appearing?
- Water meter or pump changes – Your water meter or your pump can help determine if you have a leak. If you have a meter, check your meter. Wait an hour or two without using any water and check the meter again. If the reading changed, it can mean that you have a leak. If you use well water and have a pump, listen to hear if it is running when no water is being used. If it is, then you probably have a leak.
