Some Ways To Know If You Have Leaky Pipes

Musty smell

Old water that accumulates smells musty. So if you clean your bathroom, but it still has a musty smell, chances are there is a hidden leak somewhere that’s allowing water to accumulate somewhere in your home.

Significantly higher water bills

If your water bill has been way above the norm for several months, and you can’t recall any change in your water usage, you may have a hidden leak.

Water meter shows you’ve got a leak

Your water meter can confirm that you have a water leak in your home.

Mold or mildew on non-shower walls

A leaky pipe in your wall is the perfect breeding ground for mold.

Stained, damaged, or sagging walls, ceilings and flooring

Warping, bubbling, sagging or staining on your walls, ceilings or flooring can be caused by hidden leaks.

Keep in mind that high humidity can cause some of these problems. If you combine the issue of humidity with high water bills and the previously mentioned symptoms, chances are you have a hidden water leak.
