Signs You Might Have a Leak
Not sure if you have a leak? Here are the telltale signs:
- Higher water bill than usual: A sudden spike often means water is going somewhere it shouldn't
- Sound of running water: Hear water when nothing is on? That's a red flag
- Damp spots on walls or ceilings: Water stains or soft spots indicate hidden leaks
- Musty or moldy smell: Hidden moisture causes mold growth
- Low water pressure: A leak in the supply line can reduce pressure
- Water meter keeps running: Turn off all water and check your meter - if it's still moving, you have a leak
- Dripping sounds: The classic sign - don't ignore that plinking noise

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Signs include: unexplained water bill increases, sound of running water when nothing is on, damp spots on walls/ceilings/floors, musty odors, or your water meter moving when you're not using water.
How much does leak repair cost?
Leak repair starts at $129 for simple fixes like faucet repairs. Costs vary based on leak location and complexity. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work.
Can a small leak cause major damage?
Yes! A small leak can waste thousands of gallons of water per year and cause mold growth, structural damage, and increased utility bills. Even a dripping faucet can waste over 3,000 gallons annually.
Should I turn off my water if I find a leak?
For active leaks, yes - turn off the water supply to that fixture (under-sink valve) or your main water shutoff if needed. This prevents further damage while you wait for repairs.
