Signs You Need Water Leak Detection
Even if you can see the leak itself, you’ll see signs that you may need water leak detection services.
1. Water stains on the walls or ceiling
If you have a leak in your wall, ceiling, or floor, water stains may appear around the area. You’ll also see pooling stains at the base of the walls and around the floor. Leaks between the floors or in the ceiling usually leave a rounded stain or discoloration.
2. Mold and mildew growth
Mold and mildew growth are common in homes with moisture problems. You may also smell musty odors. Although there may be more than one cause for mold and mildew growth, this issue is a health hazard and should be tackled promptly.
3. Dripping sounds in the walls or ceiling
You may hear subtle dripping sounds between your walls, floors, or ceiling. Wall leaks are usually accompanied by water stains.
4. Unusually high water bills
If you have a leak in your home, you’re likely experiencing higher-than-normal water bills. A quick check of your water meter can tell you if a leak is the culprit. The faster your water meter runs when all your appliances are off, the bigger the leak.
5. Reduced water pressure
Decreases in water pressure may also indicate the need for plumbing leak detection. Decreasing water pressure can also be an issue with the municipal line, mineral build-up in your pipes, or a faulty pressure regulator. Contact a professional plumber to quickly determine the cause.
6. Flaking or bubbling in your interior paint or wallpaper/blistering exterior paint
When moisture is trapped between the paint or wallpaper and the wall, it causes the paint to bubble (interior) and blister (exterior). Paint eventually flakes off, and wallpaper sags and rolls off.
7. Cracks or buckling in your foundation or walls
If you notice cracks or buckling in your walls, foundation, or floor beams, contact the team at Jay’s right away. These are serious signs of a water problem in your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Leaks
Where is the most common water leak location?
The most common leak locations are inside the toilet tank, faucets, and shower heads. A worn flapper inside your toilet tank allows water to continually leak into the bowl. Stripped threads, faulty O-rings, and worn washers in shower heads and faucets lead to drips and leaks around the connections and from the head.
What steps can I take to prevent future water leaks?
Check all the water systems in your home regularly, know the location of the main water shut-off valve, and keep your drains and downspouts clear of waste and debris. The best way to prevent future water leaks is to have a professional plumber perform regular inspections and maintenance of your water systems.
How long does it typically take to find a leak?
Our professional plumbing team works quickly and efficiently to locate and repair leaks. Though finding a leak can take up to three hours, we’ll usually locate the source within an hour. Underground leaks may take longer.
