4 Signs of a Pipe Leak

When you own a home, maintaining its structure and foundation is often just as important as the financial obligations you have attached to the property. Without a working plumbing system, your home can quickly fall apart. Knowing the signs of a pipe leak can help you to avoid preventable and costly damage. Trust only All City Plumbers for trenchless pipe lining in San Fernando Valley, CA .

Visible Mold and Mildew

One of the telltale signs that there is a pipe leak in your home is visible mold and mildew. Mold and mildew are commonly visible around the areas that surround the pipes in kitchens, bathrooms, and basement areas where there is currently running water present. Mold and mildew growth may begin on the walls, pipes, or flooring beneath sinks, dishwashers, washers, and tubs if there are pipe leaks inside of your walls or anywhere throughout your home. Identifying mold is essential as mold can quickly become dangerous and potentially life-threatening when left unattended and untreated.

An Increase in Your Water Bills

If you notice an unexpected spike in the cost of your water bills without increasing your household’s water usage and consumption, you may have a pipe leak that has gone undetected.

Wet Areas in Your Home

Noticeable wet areas throughout your home in spaces where water should not be present may be a sign of an underlying leak in your pipes.

Smells

You may begin to notice that various rooms throughout your home smell musty and of mildew if there are leaks in your home’s pipes. Water leaks not only lead to the growth of mold, but typically result in odorous and unpleasant smells.
