Here's How To Identify a Leak Early

Identifying a leak can be tricky, but identifying a leak early can feel nearly impossible. However, if homeowners stick to a regular maintenance schedule, their chances of ever experiencing a leaky pipe or faucet are significantly reduced. That said, there are still things homeowners can do on their own to locate a leak. Knowing common signs of a water leak could save homeowners thousands in repair costs later. 

The Common Signs of a Water Leak

The thing about leaks, and plumbing problems in general, is the sooner homeowners are aware they exist, the better. Not only will it save the home from water damage, but it'll save the homeowner money in the end too. 

The only way homeowners can effectively spot a leak early is to be aware of the common signs a leak is present. 

Some common signs include: 

  • Reduced water pressure or uneven water pressure
  • Wet spots on the floors, walls, or ceilings
  • Sagging ceiling
  • Strange banging noises in the walls
  • Increased water bill
  • Water stains
  • Mold or mildew

 

Are Water Leaks Dangerous?

In terms of threat to human life, pipe leaks aren't necessarily that dangerous. However, they are extremely dangerous to the homeowner's pocket and anything in the home with sentimental value. 

Water damage in homes is nothing to mess with because of how unpredictable it is. There are many factors at play, including: 

  • The age of the plumbing system
  • The age of the home
  • The condition of the plumbing system
  • The integrity of the home's foundation and structure
  • Location of leak
  • How long the leak has been there
  • If the pipe had damage before the leak

Because there are so many factors, it can be hard to predict when or if a pipe will burst. The thing about a burst pipe is it can quickly lead to multiple burst pipes and a flooded home. The best thing to do is to look for common signs of a leak and call a professional as soon as possible. 

How Do Professionals Find and Fix Leaks?

Today's technology allows plumbers to locate a leak relatively easily. Some sensors or cameras essentially swim through the pipes and stream video of their condition. Once the leak is located, the professionals can usually fix it with a simple patching technique.

However, if there is more than one leak or a few pipes that burst, the professionals then have to take things a step further. Depending on the plumbing system's age, the plumbing company might suggest repiping it entirely.
