Common signs of hidden water leaks include unexpectedly high water bills, persistent wet or soggy areas in your landscape, the sound of running water when all taps are turned off, and unusual warm spots on floors that might indicate hot water line leaks.
In mountain properties, you might also notice water stains on walls or ceilings, mold growth in unexpected places, or changes in water pressure. For vacation rentals, guests might report lukewarm showers or water-related issues that seem to come and go.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to address them quickly. Small leaks can become major problems fast, especially in mountain conditions where freezing temperatures can turn a minor leak into a burst pipe emergency.
