Common mystery leaks
Several types of hidden leaks in homes may not exhibit immediate signs, including:

• Pipe Leaks Within Walls: Pipes hidden behind walls can leak for extended periods before causing noticeable damage, such as dampness or discoloration
• Shower Leaks: Leaks within shower surrounds and curbs can frequently penetrate walls and ceilings.
• Roof Leaks: Roof leaks may go undetected until water damage becomes visible inside the home, such as water stains or mold growth on ceilings or walls.
• Underground Pipe Leaks: Pipes buried underground, such as sewer lines or water supply lines leading to the house, can develop leaks without obvious signs until there’s a sudden spike in water bills or subsidence in the yard.
• Appliance Leaks: Leaks from appliances like dishwashers, refrigerators with ice makers, or washing machines might go unnoticed until there’s visible damage or mold growth in the surrounding area
• Condensation Leaks: HVAC systems or ductwork can develop condensation leaks, especially in humid climates, which may not be immediately apparent but can lead to mold growth or structural damage over time.

These types of hidden leaks emphasize the importance of regular maintenance and proactive leak detection measures to prevent costly damage to the home.

What should I do if I suspect a leak, but can’t visually find one?

1. Locate Your Water Meter: Typically, water meters are located near the curb outside your home
2. Note the Current Reading: Take note or a picture of the current reading displayed on the meter. This reading represents your water usage up to that point.
3. Turn Off Water Usage: Ensure that no water is being used inside or outside your home. This includes faucets, toilets, showers, sprinkler systems, etc. Make sure all appliances that use water are turned off.
4. Observe the Meter: Look at the meter’s display. If there’s a leak, even a small one, the meter’s dial may be spinning. This movement indicates water flowing through the meter when it shouldn’t be, suggesting a leak.
5. Wait and Recheck: Keep an eye on the meter for a few minutes (usually around 15 minutes). If the reading changes despite no water usage, it’s likely there’s a leak somewhere in your plumbing system.
