Signs You Have a Plumbing Leak
A leaking faucet that drips water into the sink is easy to spot, but detecting leaky pipes and fixtures isn’t always this clear-cut. Keep an eye out for the following problems, so you know when it’s time to schedule professional leak detection service:
- Unexpected moisture: If there’s any standing water on the cabinet floor beneath a bathroom or kitchen sink, you could have a leaky pipe on your hands.
- Discolored or bubbling walls: Examine the walls and ceilings of your home. If the drywall has discolored or started to bubble, there could be a leak behind the wall. In fact, even with water-resistance drywall in bathrooms, prominent leaks can still cause some discoloration or bubbling.
- Mold growth or a musty odor: Mold can only grow in damp places. A mold problem anywhere in your home could signify a leaky pipe somewhere. Even if you can’t see it, a persistent musty odor is a clear giveaway.
- Rising water bills: If you notice your bills going up without explanation, a hidden plumbing leak is a likely culprit.
- Warm spots on the floors or walls: If a hot water pipe has sprung a leak, it can create unexplained warmth on your walls or flooring. So, run your hands along the walls, or walk around barefoot in the basement to check for mysterious hot spots.
- Dripping or running water noises: The sound of water trickling behind the wall or “phantom flushes” from a toilet leak are both signs that you should call a plumber.
- Changing water meter readings: Confirm your suspicions with this simple test—take a water meter reading, avoid running any water for two hours, and then take another reading. If the numbers change, you can be certain there’s a leak somewhere.

What Causes Water Leaks?
Hidden water leaks are common, but why do they occur? Sometimes, normal wear and tear is to blame. Other times, relatively new pipes and fixtures can develop leaks due to flaws in manufacturing or installation. Here are some of the most likely reasons homes develop plumbing leaks:
- Ground movement, settling soil, and the freeze-thaw cycle
- Poor construction or installation techniques
- Pipe corrosion that occurs with age
- Damaged pipe seals or joints
- Excess water pressure
- Cracked pipes or fixtures
- Untreated clogs
