How to Know When You Have a Leaking Pipe
The first sign of a water pipe leak is receiving a utility bill that is unusually high. However, some leaks can actually be heard inside walls and under floors. Leaks ordinarily sound like a trickling stream of water, and they can sometimes be heard easily by individuals who press their ear to the side of a wall. Warm water leaks can sometimes create warm spots on floors and walls. Severe leak damage can even be visible on drywall and stucco materials.
Identifying a Leak Under a Floor
The easiest way to detect a leak under a floor is to take off your shoes and walk across the floor’s surface. If warm spots are found, temporarily turn off all appliances that use running water in your house. By doing this, your water meter should be able to tell you whether water is being used for something other than an appliance. If your water meter continues to move with all of your appliances turned off, there is a good chance that you have a slab leak. Moreover, even if you cannot find any warm spots on your floor, you should still check your water meter after turning off all appliances because you could have another type of leak that could cause severe property damage.
