How to Detect Hidden Water Leaks in Your Home

Hidden water leaks can cause costly damage and increase your utility bills. Here’s how to spot signs of leaks early and prevent further issues.

1. Monitor Your Water Bill

A sudden increase in your water bill without increased usage could indicate a hidden leak.

2. Check for Water Stains

Yellow or brown stains on ceilings and walls may be signs of slow leaks.

3. Listen for Running Water

If you hear water running when no faucets are on, you may have a leak behind the walls.

4. Inspect Your Water Meter

Turn off all water sources and check your meter. If it’s still running, there’s likely a leak.

5. Look for Mold or Mildew

Persistent dampness and mold growth indicate excess moisture from hidden leaks.
