Three Tell-Tale Signs of a Hidden Leak 

Most of the plumbing in modern homes is hidden away from view. The main water line is connected to the home’s plumbing fixtures through water pipes in the walls, ceiling, and floor.

When a leak springs in a pipe hidden away, it can go undetected for a long time. In this blog post, our plumbing experts advise homeowners on how to spot a hidden water leak before it gets out of hand and causes extensive property damage. 

Listen For the Sound of Running Water

How does one find a leaking water pipe hidden away behind the walls, ceiling, or floor? One of the easiest and simplest ways to figure out if there is a hidden water leak is to listen carefully to the sound of running water when all of the plumbing fixtures are turned off. 

Sometimes homeowners can hear running water traveling through pipes in the walls, even when there is no water running in the house. This sound could be an indicator of a hidden water leak. Hearing dripping water signifies that a water leak repair is needed.

Swampy Spots on the Lawn

Underground pipes in the yard leading to the main water line can also leak, often because of tree roots growing into the pipes. One of the indicators of a broken water line is swampy spots in the yard or patches where the grass seems to grow more quickly. 

Looking around the yard, homeowners may see that the grass is growing longer or faster than in the rest of the yard in a particular area. This means that the grass could be getting more water from a hidden leak underground. Leaks should be repaired as soon as possible after being first noticed to prevent worsening problems. 

Poor Water Pressure and Increased Water Bills 

Low water pressure from the bathroom or kitchen faucets could indicate a leaking pipe somewhere else in the plumbing system. The fixtures may not have the ideal water pressure because some water leaks before it reaches the tap. A water leak can affect water pressure throughout a home, or it could only affect one specific plumbing fixture. 

It is important to schedule water leak repair as soon as a leak is identified because water leaks can get expensive fast. Homeowners may first notice a spike in their water bills before noticing the other signs of a hidden water leak. Losing water to a leaky pipe is basically “money down the drain,” so being on the lookout for water leaks in the plumbing system can save homeowners money in the long run.
