QUICK ANSWER

What is leak detection?

Leak detection is the process of locating the source of suspected water loss when the plumbing failure is hidden, intermittent, or not obvious from the visible damage.

Common warning signs

Signs you may need leak detection.

A stain or wet area does not always reveal the exact source. Water can travel along framing, pipes, slabs, and building materials before it becomes visible.

  • 01

    The water bill rises without an obvious reason

  • 02

    You hear water when fixtures are off

  • 03

    Walls, ceilings, or floors stay damp

  • 04

    Paint bubbles or drywall changes color

  • 05

    A musty odor develops near plumbing areas

  • 06

    Water pressure changes unexpectedly

What to do now

Take safe first steps before the problem gets worse.

These are general damage-limiting steps, not a substitute for diagnosis or repair. Do not enter an unsafe area or work around plumbing, gas, or electrical hazards you are not qualified to handle.

01

Note when and where the signs appear and whether fixture use changes them.

02

Limit water use if the leak appears active or damage is spreading.
