Water Leak Detection

If you think you have a water leak you do not want to ignore it. It will not get better on its own. Without proper leak detection and leak repair, the problem will continue to get worse. Here are a few things to look out for if you think you have a water leak inside.

Noticeable drop in water pressure
If you notice a drop in water pressure it could be a buildup of calcium and minerals in your pipes, a broken valve, or a pipe leak. When you have a water leak the water is not able to flow through your pipes as it should, resulting in low water pressure.
Higher than usual water bill
An unexplained higher water bill can be a sure sign you have a leaking pipe. One running toilet and a water leak can waste thousands of gallons of water a year.
Mold and mildew
Continual water leaks will lead to mold and mildew. It can be noticeable on walls, floors, and ceilings. If you have a lingering musty odor it could also be a sign of water leakage, and it is important to have it checked out.
Water stains on the ceiling
Discoloration and dark spots on the ceiling are a sure sign of a water leak, especially if the floor above the spot is an upstairs bathroom. If the spot is on the top floor it could be related to your roof or gutter. In either case, it’s important to have a professional assess and provide leak repair if necessary.
Sagging ceiling
Sagging ceilings are dangerous and need to be dealt with immediately. This can cause structural damage and needs to be addressed.
Paint blistering

Pipes making noise
