Licensed Plumbers in Phoenix, AZ

Detecting a hidden water leak can be challenging because the signs are often subtle. However, paying attention to these signs can help you identify a potential hidden water leak in your home:

• Increased Water Bill: A sudden and unexplained increase in your water bill can be a strong indicator of a hidden leak. Compare your recent bills to previous ones to spot any significant differences.
• Low Water Pressure: A decrease in water pressure in your faucets or showerheads, especially in one specific area, can be a sign of a hidden leak in the pipes leading to that area.
• Mold or Mildew: The presence of mold or mildew in areas where it shouldn't be, such as walls, ceilings, or floors, may indicate excess moisture from a leak.
• Musty Odor: A persistent musty or earthy smell in your home can be a sign of hidden moisture caused by a leak. This odor is often associated with mold growth.
• Warping or Staining: Look for warped, discolored, or stained walls, ceilings, or floors. These can result from water seeping into building materials over time.
• Damaged Flooring: Buckled or warped wooden floors, loose tiles, or damaged laminate can be caused by water accumulating beneath the flooring.
• Peeling Wallpaper or Paint: Wallpaper or paint that is peeling, bubbling, or blistering, especially on walls or ceilings, can indicate moisture damage.
• Visible Cracks: Cracks in walls, ceilings, or the foundation of your home can result from the shifting caused by water damage.
• Sounds of Running Water: If you hear the sound of running water when no faucets or appliances are in use, it could be the sound of water leaking within the walls or floors.
• Warm Spots on Floors: If there are warm spots on your floors, it might indicate a hot water pipe leak beneath the floor.
