How Do You Know If You Have a Water Leak?

If you’re a property owner or tenant, you should be able to detect the signs of a water leak quickly. By doing so, you can put a stop to the problem of slowly dripping water before the issue results in mold growth, rusted pipes, or unwanted property damage.

Several signs can indicate the presence of a water leak in your home, such as:

• Reduced water pressure: Leaks in pipes can reduce water pressure throughout your plumbing system, making it difficult to perform daily tasks such as showering, washing dishes, or doing laundry.
• Water damage: Leaks from pipes or water heaters can cause water to seep into walls, floors, and ceilings, leading to structural damage, mold growth, and deterioration of building materials.
• Increased utility bills: Even small leaks can waste a significant amount of water over time, resulting in higher water bills. Additionally, leaks in hot water pipes or heaters can lead to energy loss, increasing the cost of heating water.
• Mold and mildew growth: Moisture from leaks creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew to thrive, posing health risks to occupants and causing unpleasant odors and stains.

How Should You Respond to a Leaking Pipe?

As soon as you notice a leaking pipe, locate the main water shut-off valve and turn it off to stop the flow of water. This will help prevent additional water damage while you assess the situation and call a professional plumber to make necessary repairs.

While waiting for a plumber to arrive, you can take several other steps, including removing electronics and valuables from the area, taking pictures for insurance documentation, and attempting to soak up any standing water with towels or mops.
