Absolutely. Even a quarter-inch pipe leak can waste 10,000 gallons of water per month and cause significant structural damage if left undetected. Small leaks start minor but turn into expensive nightmares fast.
Hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs can run for months or years, all while wreaking havoc on your plumbing system and your home’s structure. They cause wood rot, foundation problems, mold growth, and damage that can cost $15,000 or more to repair.
The most dangerous leaks are the ones you can’t see. By the time you notice water stains, warped floors, or unusually high water bills, the damage is already extensive. That’s why early detection saves thousands compared to waiting until problems become obvious.
