Undetected water leaks cause serious damage to your home and if left unaddressed, may quickly compromise your home’s value and overall livability. Any amount of water leakage brings a variety of problems such as mold, wood rot, and compromised air quality unhealthy for anyone exposed.
Slow leaks are not easily detectable like floods, but there will be signs and plenty of clues that we want to share with you to keep your eyes peeled for.
The Smell
Leaks tend to cause persistent musty odors like wet cardboard or newspaper. This is an indicator that requires further diagnosis.
Mold
Anywhere you see mold whether it is near an obvious leak or a not so obvious area, it is a major cause for concern.
Growing Stains or Soft Spots in Walls
Leaky pipes are a breeding ground for mold growth behind the wall that permeates through to the other side. A huge indicator of a plumbing problem.
Peeling wallpaper
Noticeable paint damage is a sign the sheetrock it is sitting on is damp from a leak behind the wall.
Sheetrock Warping
This is a sure-fire sign of a slow water leak. Sheetrock wicks up excess moisture and starts to warp.
Sagging Ceilings and Discolored Flooring
This can be an indicator that there are structural problems from damp sheetrock that are affecting the framing of the home, flooring, and ceilings.
Another pro tip to diagnose any water leaks is to turn off all appliances and faucets and go check your water meter. Give it 2-3 hours and check again to measure the difference in water usage. Any variation from the original number is a huge indicator you need to give us a call.
