Common Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
1. Unexpectedly High Water Bills: A sudden spike in your utility bill without any extra usage often means a hidden leak is wasting water 24/7.
2. Persistent Musty Odors: Damp, earthy smells may indicate moisture buildup from a concealed water leak or developing mold behind surfaces.
3. Sounds of Running Water (When Everything’s Off): If you hear water movement but all taps and appliances are off, there’s likely a leak inside the walls or under the slab.
4. Stains or Bubbles on Ceilings and Walls: Discoloration, bubbling paint, or peeling drywall usually signals water damage behind your home’s surfaces.
5. Gas Smell Indoors: A sulfur-like or rotten egg odor is a major red flag for a natural gas leak—especially near appliances or pipes.
6. Sudden Drop in Water Pressure: Low water pressure in showers or faucets may be caused by a break, hole, or blockage in your supply line.
7. Warm or Wet Spots on Flooring: Localized hot or damp areas on tile or hardwood floors often indicate a hot water slab leak under the concrete.
8. Cracks in Walls or Foundation: Shifting or cracking in walls, ceilings, or the foundation may result from long-term water intrusion undermining structural integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do plumbers perform leak detection?
Plumbers use several techniques for leak detection:
Acoustic Listening Devices: These tools amplify the sound of water leaks inside walls or under concrete slabs.
Video Inspection Equipment: Small cameras are inserted into pipes to visually locate leaks.
Thermal Imaging: This technology detects temperature changes caused by water leaks.
How much does it cost to find a leak?
The cost varies depending on the location and severity of the leak, as well as the specific methods used for detection. It’s best to get a detailed quote from a professional leak detection company.
Can I detect a leak myself?
Yes, you can perform a basic check by turning off all water sources and observing your water meter. If the meter continues to move, you likely have a leak. You can also use food coloring in toilet tanks to check for leaks.
Are all water leaks visible?
No, many leaks are hidden behind walls, under floors, or underground. Professional leak detection services use specialized equipment to locate these hidden leaks.
What should I do if I suspect a leak?
Turn off your main water supply to prevent further damage and contact a professional leak detection company immediately. Document any visible damage for insurance purposes.
What causes slab leaks?
Slab leaks can be caused by several factors including poor installation, pipe corrosion, shifting soil, and high water pressure. Detecting and repairing slab leaks promptly is crucial to avoid structural damage.
How do you repair leaks without digging?
Using trenchless technology, such as pipe lining or pipe bursting, we can repair leaks with minimal disruption. This involves inserting a new pipe lining within the existing pipe or replacing the damaged pipe by pulling a new one through it.
How long does leak detection take?
The time required varies based on the leak’s location and severity. However, most professional inspections can be completed within a few hours.
What other issues can leaks cause?
Unaddressed leaks can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and increased water bills. Prompt detection and repair are essential to prevent these issues.
