5 Signs You Have a Hidden Leak
Leak signs are not always obvious, but look for stains on your walls, floors, or ceiling, low water pressure, or water hissing and rattling when a fixture is off. To find hidden leaks, look for:A Damaged Toilet or Drain
Some toilet and drain leaks are hard to detect until your water bill increases because water runs into the drain. For toilets, change the flapper or flapper chain. With faucets, replace the washer. If the problem persists, talk to a professional plumber about replacement options.Tub or Sink Cracks
Visible cracks should never be ignored. Promptly fix small cracks DIY or contact a plumber. For larger cracks, consider a fixture upgrade.Deteriorating Seals
Washing machines, refrigerators, and dishwashers can leak if their washer seals are worn. Replace the seals or let a plumber do it.Pipe Corrosion
Lead or galvanized iron pipes can contaminate water and cause corrosion and cracks. Sieves can temporarily damage, but the pipes will eventually completely collapse and flood your home. Talk to a plumber about repiping with plastic or copper, and ask about federal tax credits and utility rebates to offset costs.Tree Root Intrusion
Trees like high moisture deep underground, and the roots can infiltrate tiny pipe cracks and eventually burst them. Schedule an inspection and look for sinkholes, green patches, or decreased water pressure.
