A leak is not always obvious, especially when plumbing is located behind walls, beneath flooring, or in less visible areas of your Palm Desert home. Look for changes that may indicate water is escaping where it should not:
- Your water bill suddenly increases without a clear change in usage.
- You hear water running or dripping when your fixtures are turned off.
- Walls, ceilings, cabinets, or flooring develop damp spots, stains, or discoloration.
- You notice musty or unusual odors in an area that should remain dry.
- Paint begins peeling, bubbling, or cracking without an obvious cause.
- You find standing water near plumbing fixtures or appliances.
- Your water meter continues moving when no one is using water.
Palm Desert's dry climate can make unexplained moisture especially noticeable, but a visible symptom may only be part of the problem. If you cannot identify the source, professional leak detection can help pinpoint what is happening.
