Ways to spot a hidden leaky pipe
At DoublePro Plumbing Buena Park, we care about your home and would like to help you recognize the signs that can point to a leaky pipe hidden somewhere in the home:
- Extremely steep water bill
If your water bill is very much above the general norm for a few months without any noticeable changes in the level of water used daily, there may be a leak.
- The water meter
Reading the water meter can help to confirm any issues with leaky pipes.
- Mold or mildew walls
While mildew can be present on a shower wall due to the humidity, if you notice any type of mold or mildew on a non-shower wall, it is a sign of a leaky pipe as they thrive in places that are dark and moist.
- Staining, damage and sagging on walls, flooring and ceilings
While some of these issues can be caused by high humidity, when combined with issues like high levels of water bills, this is a great indicator for hidden water leaks. Signs of warping, sagging, bubbling or staining can be caused due to hidden leaks from nearby pipes. We can help prevent this by running maintenance checks and fixing leaky pipes.
- A musty smell
Accumulating water can smell musty. If your bathroom is cleaned but has that musty smell, there may be hidden leaks allowing water to accumulate in the home.
