Water leaks in your home can be more than just a nuisance. Left unchecked, they can lead to significant damage, including structural issues and mold growth, not to mention the potential spike in your water bills. Early detection is crucial in mitigating these risks and avoiding costly repairs. City Plumbing and Rooter is here to guide you through the early signs of water leaks, ensuring you can act swiftly and efficiently.

Unexplained Spike in Water Bills

Musty Odors

Persistent musty or moldy smells, especially in areas like basements, bathrooms, or under sinks, can indicate lingering moisture from a leak. These odors often become more pronounced in confined spaces.

Stains or Discoloration

Keep an eye out for unexplained stains on your ceilings, walls, or floors. Water stains often appear as discolored spots or patches and could be a sign of a leaky pipe or roof.

Mold and Mildew Growth

Mold and mildew thrive in moist environments. The appearance of mold, particularly in places that are usually dry, is a significant indicator of a water leak. Regular checks in hidden areas like under sinks, behind appliances, and around windows can help catch these early.

Warped or Buckling Floors and Walls

Water leaks can cause floors and walls to warp or buckle. If you notice any changes in the alignment or texture of your flooring or walls, it might be due to water damage.

Damp Spots or Pooling Water

Unexplained damp spots on your carpets, floors, or near plumbing fixtures can signal a leak. Similarly, pooling water around the base of toilets, tubs, or sinks shouldn’t be ignored.

Sounds of Running Water

If you hear the sound of water running or dripping when all fixtures are turned off, it's a clear sign that water is escaping somewhere it shouldn't be.

Decreased Water Pressure

A sudden drop in water pressure in your showers or faucets can indicate a leak in your plumbing system. This is particularly true if the change in pressure is isolated to a single area of your home.
