No one wants to find a water leak in their house – big or small. Leaking pipes can cause thousands of dollars in damage before you even realize there’s a problem. After that, you’re left wondering how you might have detected the leak sooner or prevented it altogether. Whether you’re researching for the future or think you have a water leak in your home, here’s everything you need to know about detecting, preventing and fixing water leaks.
The hidden nature of your home’s plumbing can make water leak detection seem impossible, and sometimes it is – until water damage occurs and it’s impossible not to notice. But knowing the signs of a water leak may help you spot one earlier and take action. If you can spot the early signs of a water leak, you may be able to lessen or even completely avoid significant water damage. Here are some signs you should look out for:
If you suspect a water leak based on the symptoms above, one of the best ways to confirm your suspicions is to check the water meter. Make sure no one is using any water in your home (including appliances), and check the water meter outside your home. If it changes while you’re watching, you have a fast-moving leak on your hand. If it changes slowly over the course of a few hours, the leak is slow. If the meter doesn’t change at all, you most likely don’t have a water leak.
