Common Issues
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
Rising Water Bills
A water bill that jumps for no clear reason is one of the most common signs of a hidden leak.
Running Water Sounds
Hearing water running when every fixture is off usually means water is moving somewhere it should not be.
Warm Spots on the Floor
A warm patch on a slab floor can point to a hot water line leaking underneath it.
Musty Smells or Mold
A persistent damp smell in one area of the house is often a sign of moisture from a slow leak.
Low Water Pressure
A sudden drop in pressure at one or more fixtures can mean water is escaping before it reaches them.
Foundation Cracks
A slab leak left unaddressed can shift soil under your home and contribute to foundation cracking.

Prevention
Maintenance Tips to Avoid Bigger Problems
Watch Your Water Meter
Check your meter before bed and again in the morning with no water used. If it moved, you likely have a leak.
Annual Leak Checks
A yearly inspection of exposed pipes and fixtures catches small leaks before they grow.
Know Your Shutoff Valve
Knowing where your main shutoff is means you can limit damage fast if a leak turns urgent.
Monitor Your Water Bill
Comparing your bill month to month is one of the easiest ways to catch a leak early.
