Signs of Hidden Water Leaks
Sometimes, a water leak can go undetected for weeks, or even months. If the leak is slow and is hidden in pipes behind a wall or under the floor, there’s really no way for a homeowner to know what’s happening until the signs start presenting themselves. Some of the signs of a hidden water leak include:
- Excess moisture on walls, floors or in basements
- Mold and mildew anywhere in the house
- Damp spots on carpets
- Soggy, moist ground in the backyard
- Unexpectedly high water bills
If you notice any of these signs, call a plumber to come in and check for leaks so you can get the appropriate repair and keep damages to a minimum.
What Is a Burst Pipe?
A slow, hidden leak can rot wood and cause a lot of property damage, but a burst pipe really has a way of creating panic throughout the household. As the name suggests, a burst pipe occurs when the pipe literally bursts open and the water starts flooding the surrounding area. Sometimes, they happen underground, but they can also happen inside the house. As you can imagine, the damage piles up quickly when a pipe has burst, so fast action is a must.
First, find the water valve that shuts off the water supply to that pipe and shut it off. This ensures the water will stop flowing into your living space. Next, call your plumber and explain the situation so he can come out and take control of the situation. A pipe may burst due to cold temperatures, normal wear and tear or even tree roots causing too much pressure, so keep your eyes open.
