The main signs of a hidden plumbing leak are higher water bills, damp smells, wall stains, and reduced water pressure.
Easy Signs to Look For:
- Sudden increase in your water bill, even when your usage is the same.
- Musty or damp smell around walls, floors, or cabinets.
- Water stains or discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors.
- Peeling paint or bubbling wallpaper is caused by moisture inside the wall.
- Low water pressure in taps or showers.
- Mold or mildew patches in areas that shouldn’t be wet.
- Hearing water sounds (running or dripping) when no taps are on.
If a homeowner notices any of these, they should call BC Best Plumbing & Heating for a quick leak check before the damage becomes serious.
