Signs of a Hidden Water Leak
Most hidden leaks give a clue before they give a flood.
The Water Meter Moves With Everything Off
Turn off every faucet and appliance, then watch the meter. If it still moves, water is leaving somewhere.
A Higher Water Bill With No Reason
Same household, same habits, bigger bill.
Stains, Bubbling Paint or Soft Drywall
Water from a pipe in a wall or ceiling shows up as a stain or a soft spot. See our guide to water leaking from the ceiling.
A Warm Spot on the Floor
A hot water line leaking under a slab can warm the floor above it. Read about slab leak detection.
The Sound of Running Water
Hearing water when nothing is on usually means something is leaking or a toilet is running.
Trace It, Show You, Then Fix It
Your technician starts with the simple checks: the meter, the toilets, the fixtures and the water heater. Then the supply lines are traced to narrow down where the water is going before anything is opened. You see where the leak is and what it will take to fix before you approve the repair.
Find It
Leak Detection
The meter, fixtures and lines are checked to narrow the leak to one area, so walls, floors and yards are opened only where they need to be.
Fix It
Leak Repair
Once it's found, the leak is repaired: a pipe section, a fitting, a valve or a supply line. For bigger failures, see pipe repair and water line repair.
