The most common early warning signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, sounds of running water when all fixtures are off, and wet spots in your yard or unusual green patches of grass.
Inside your home, look for water stains on ceilings or walls, warped flooring, musty odors, or low water pressure. In Auburn homes with slab foundations, you might notice warm spots on floors or cracks in your foundation.
A simple test is to check your water meter – note the reading, avoid using water for several hours, then check again. If the reading increased, you likely have a leak somewhere in your system that needs professional detection.
