5 Signs You Have a Plumbing Leak
In addition to ruining insulation, drywall, and carpeting, a leak can cause wood rot, mold growth, foundation problems, and structural issues. Hidden or underground leaks are especially challenging because they can go unnoticed for an extended duration, leading to costly damage. That’s why it’s critical to be vigilant and always call an expert to be safe.
Here are five signs you have a plumbing leak at your home:
- Higher water bills: Unless you know that your water usage increased, a significantly higher water bill likely indicates a leak.
- Mildew or mold: Whether you have mold from a leaking pipe, water leaking into the basement, or something else, it can cause serious property damage and health hazards for your family.
- Lower water pressure: If you’re using only one fixture and notice less water pressure, there may be a leak.
- Water spots on ceilings: If there’s a discolored stain on the ceiling below an upstairs bathroom, you probably have a leak somewhere in that bathroom.
- Damaged flooring: Soft spots, warping, or loose flooring are usually synonymous with a leak.
Common Causes of Home Water Leaks
Water leaks occur for different reasons. Here are a few common causes of home water leaks:
- Broken seals: The longer you have your appliances, the more likely your seals will wear down and break, eventually causing a leak.
- Corroding pipes: Consider replacing your pipes if there’s a leak from older, discolored pipes.
- Sudden temperature changes: Quick temperature changes can force your pipes to expand and contract, increasing the risk of your pipes cracking and causing a significant leak.
- Loose water connectors: The pipes and hoses that provide water to your appliances may become loose from shifting, causing a leak.
