Watch for these telltale signs: your water bill suddenly jumps without increased usage, you hear water running when all fixtures are off, or you notice damp spots on walls, ceilings, or floors. Hot spots on your floor often indicate slab leaks, while musty odors can signal moisture buildup from hidden leaks.
Check your water meter when no water is running in your house. If the dial moves, you’ve got a leak somewhere. Many College/Glen homeowners miss these early warning signs until damage becomes expensive.
The sooner you call for professional leak detection, the more money you save. What starts as a $300 repair can become a $15,000 restoration project if water damage spreads to flooring, drywall, and structural elements.
