Water leaks don't always announce themselves with a puddle on the floor. Many leaks happen behind walls, under slabs, or inside fixtures where they can go unnoticed for months, driving up your water bill and causing hidden damage. Here's what to watch for.
Unexplained increases in your water bill are often the first clue. If your usage habits haven't changed but your bill keeps climbing, a hidden leak could be the culprit.
Listen for the sound of running water when every faucet in the house is off, and check your water meter: if it keeps moving during a period when no water is being used, water is escaping somewhere in your system.
Watch for damp or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or flooring, along with a musty smell or unexplained mold growth, all of which can point to moisture building up behind the surface.
Soft spots in your yard, unusually lush patches of grass, or pooling water near your foundation can be a sign of an underground leak in your main water line or sewer line.
A noticeable drop in water pressure throughout the house can mean water is being diverted through a leak before it ever reaches your fixtures.
If you notice any of these warning signs, don't wait for a small leak to become a major repair. Contact All Drain Solutions today and our Puyallup team will find the source of the leak and get it fixed fast.
