Non-Obvious Signs You Have a Leak

A leaking pipe seems like it should be one of the more obvious plumbing problems in a home. But unbeknownst to many homeowners, not all leaks leave behind an obvious pool of water.

Remember, even if you don’t see water dripping from the ceiling or pooling on the floor, you may still have a sizable leak in your house.

4 Signs You Have a Water Leak

1. A Spike in Your Water Bill

If you notice a raise in your water bill and you’re not using more water than usual, you likely have a leak somewhere in your house. And unfortunately, even small leaks or drips can add up and cost you thousands over time.

2. Reduced Water Pressure

One of the main reasons for overall poor water pressure in your home is a leak in your main water line. If you have a leak, water isn’t able to run through your pipes as quickly as you need it to.

3. Mold and Mildew

Even a leak lasting just a few days can cause mold and mildew growth behind your walls or in your ceiling. Not only is mold unsightly, but it can also pose a risk to your family’s health. If left to grow long enough, you may need to have it cleaned and remediated by experts.

4. Strange Noises Coming from Your Plumbing

While the occasional bump or clank is normal, your plumbing should be relatively quiet. But if you’re noticing constant vibrations or rattling sounds, you may have a loose fitting mount somewhere in the lines.
