Common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, wet spots on walls or ceilings, musty odors, and water meter movement when no water is being used.
You might also notice water stains, peeling paint, warped flooring, or areas that feel unusually warm or cool. In California’s climate, even small leaks can quickly lead to mold growth, so any persistent moisture or musty smells should be investigated promptly.
Don’t wait for obvious signs like pooling water – by then, significant damage may have already occurred. If you suspect a leak but can’t locate it, professional detection can save you thousands in potential water damage and give you peace of mind about your home’s plumbing system.
