The most obvious sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill. If your usage has jumped without changes in your routine, there’s likely a hidden leak somewhere in your system that could be wasting 90+ gallons per day according to EPA data.
Other warning signs include damp spots on walls or ceilings, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, decreased water pressure, musty odors that could indicate mold growth, and warm spots on your floor that might indicate a hot water line leak under your slab.
Don’t ignore these signs, especially in Pleasant Valley’s older homes where plumbing systems are more prone to failure. What starts as a small leak can quickly become a major problem that damages your foundation, flooring, or walls and costs thousands to repair.
