Top Signs You May Have a Leaking Pipe
Unfortunately, pipe leaks don’t always happen right out in the open where you can see them. They can occur behind walls, under floorboards, or even in the ceiling. This means leaks may be difficult to spot, which could mean more damage and expensive repairs. The important thing to remember is to be aware of any unusual sightings of moisture around your home. All of the following could be signs you have a hidden water leak:
- Increasing Water Bills: If your water bills are inexplicably rising, you may have a leak somewhere that is constantly wasting water.
- Mold or Mildew Growth: A little mold or mildew in your bathroom is common, even in the cleanest homes. But if you notice this growth has expanded or it’s occurring in other parts of the house, you could have a water leak.
- Unpleasant Odors: Musty smells, even without signs of mold growth, could mean there’s a hidden leak somewhere that has dampened drywall and other materials.
- Stained or Damaged Ceiling, Walls, or Floors: If you’ve noticed unexplained stains or damage to any building materials, water leaking from a weakened pipe could be the culprit.
