Property owners should periodically inspect the area around their water heater to ensure it’s not leaking. Some common signs your water heater is leaking include:
- There is excess moisture or water near the tank
- The flooring around the appliance is uneven or raised
- You can hear hissing, dripping water, or other unusual sounds coming from the water heater
- Your hot water capacity and appliance's efficiency have decreased
Common Signs of a Leaking Washing Machine
Your washing machine may be located in a part of your home that isn’t checked on daily, so many leaks tend to go undetected until the flooring around the appliance is damaged. You should check the area around the appliance regularly to ensure there are no apparent leaks. The most common signs of a leaking washing machine hose include the following:
- You notice a moldy or musty smell in your laundry room
- You can see pools of water behind or near the washing machine
- The washing machine hose connections are loose
- There’s visible rust on the outside of the hose connections
- The washing machine hoses are cracked or bulging
