Signs You Have a Leak Inside Your Walls or Ceilings
Unfortunately, many home plumbing leaks are not obvious and can remain hidden for a while. The only way to identify that you might have a leak is to be aware of these signs:
- Unusually high water bills: A hidden leak can cause your water bill to rise for no apparent reason. Since this is sometimes the only sign, you should never ignore an unexplained rise in your water bills – call Len The Plumber to investigate!
- Stained or bulging drywall: If you notice water stains on your drywall or “bubbles” where it is bulging in places, give us a call to check for leaks in that area.
- Moldy smells: Anytime water gets where it shouldn’t be, it generally encourages mold growth. With a hidden leak, you may start to notice a musty or moldy odor in your home.
- Warm areas on your walls: If a hot water pipe is leaking, it can create a warm spot on your wall.
- Sounds of running water: If you hear trickling, dripping, or running water but you can’t locate the source, you may have a wall or ceiling leak.
- Water meter is always running: The water meter outside your home measures how much water you use. To check for leaks, check the reading on your water meter and make a note of it. Don’t use any water in your home for at least two hours, then go outside and read the meter again. If the number has changed, you may have leak in your home.
Common Causes of Wall & Ceiling Leaks
Homeowners are often surprised to find out that they have a leak, but they’re more common than most people realize. Leaks in walls and ceilings can be caused by a number of common issues, including:
- Leaky fixtures or appliances: Even if your piping is sound, an issue like a leaking shower head can cause water to drip down into your wall every time you use the shower.
- Leaky pipe fittings or plumbing connections: If pipe fittings or connections are loose or worn out, they could be letting water escape into your walls or ceiling.
- Roof leaks: A wet ceiling on the upper floor of your home most likely indicates a roof leak.
No matter the cause of your leak, our expert plumbers will get to the bottom of it. We’ll quickly fix the underlying issue and stop further water damage from occurring.
Leak Detection & Repair: What to Expect
Even if you identify where water is leaking, finding the actual source can be difficult. Water leaking from one spot will follow gravity to travel to another. Only professional leak detection service can locate the true source of a leak.
When we come to your home to pinpoint the location of a water leak, we will:
- Turn on your plumbing fixtures and test them for leaks.
- Use non-invasive procedures and the latest technology to detect leaks with minimal disruption to your home.
- Determine the best methods for repairing the leak, with careful consideration for the location and cause.
- Clean up after ourselves and leave you with a clean, leak-free home!
