How To Know If You Have a Water Leak (And What to Do Next)

Your water bill suddenly goes up. If your usage hasn’t changed but your bill spiked, that’s one of the first signs of a hidden leak. Even a small drop can waste thousands of gallons a month.

You hear running water when nothing is on. Walk through your home and listen. If you hear water moving inside your walls or floors when all faucets are of, something is wrong.

Low water pressure. A sudden drop throughout your home can indicate a leak in your main supply line.

Wet spots, stains, warping. Discoloration on ceilings, bubbling paint, warped floors, or soft spots in drywall are all signs water is going somewhere it shouldn’t.

.Your meter keeps moving. Turn off every water source, then check your meter. If the dial is still moving, you have a leak.

Musty odors. Mold grows fast in hidden moisture. If a room smells musty for no reason, water damage may already be starting behind the walls.
