Water Leak Detection

Leaks can be obvious, but water can also escape behind walls, beneath floors, below slabs, or underground. Leak detection is generally intended to narrow down the suspected source so the next repair decision can be made with better information.

Common Water Leak Warning Signs

• Unexplained water use or a sudden increase in a water bill
• Damp or stained areas without a clear source
• Sounds of running water when fixtures are off
• Moisture, odors, or damage around floors and walls
• Suspected water loss outdoors or underground

What to tell the provider

Share when the problem started, where you first noticed it, whether the water meter appears to move when water is not being used, and whether the property has had earlier plumbing problems.
