At Hills Emergency plumber, leak detection is our forte. We have the experience, knowledge, and technology to find leaks quickly and efficiently. Regardless of where the leak is located, we can help.

Signs of Hidden Leaks

There are many signs of hidden leaks, including:

A Spike in Water Bills

Your water bill is one of the best indicators that you have a leak. If you see a sudden spike in your water usage, it’s likely due to a leak. Most households use about the same amount of water each month, so any sudden changes could be a sign of a problem.

Water stains on walls or ceilings

If you notice water stains on your walls or ceiling, it’s a good indication that there is a hidden leak. These stains are usually caused by water dripping from the ceiling or running down the walls.

Mold or mildew growth

Mold and mildew need moisture to grow, so if you see these growths in your home, it could be a sign of a water leak. Mold and mildew can cause serious health problems, so it’s important to address this problem as soon as possible.

Hissing Sounds in Walls and Ceilings

If you hear a hissing sound coming from your walls or ceiling, it’s likely due to a gas leak. However, if the hissing is accompanied by water dripping from the ceiling, it could be a sign of both a gas and water leak.

Flakey Paint or Wallpaper

If you notice paint or wallpaper that is peeling, flaking, or bubbling, it could be a sign of a water leak.

When water leaks behind walls, it can cause the paint or wallpaper to bubble and peel. This is because water expands as it evaporates, causing the paint or wallpaper to separate from the wall.

If you notice any of these signs in your home, it’s important to call a professional plumber as soon as possible. Leaks can cause serious damage to your home and pose a health risk to your family.

Common Problems With Leaks

Leaks result in a wide range of issues, including:

Structural Damage

Hidden leaks can cause serious structural damage to your home. Water that leaks into walls, ceilings, and floors can weaken the structure of your home and lead to expensive repairs.

Mold and Mildew Growth

Leaking water can also lead to mold and mildew growth. Mold and mildew can cause serious health problems such as respiratory problems, allergies, and skin irritation. It is, therefore, important to address leaks quickly to prevent mold and mildew growth.

Damaged Electronics

Water and electronics don’t mix. If your leak is near any electronic devices, there’s a risk of damaging them. The last thing you want is to have to buy a new TV or computer because of a leak.

Increased Utility Bills

Even a small leak can waste a lot of water, which will lead to higher water bills. In some cases, leaks can cause such high water bills that they result in financial hardship.

Dampness

One of the most noticeable effects of a leak is dampness. Dampness can cause musty odours, stains on walls and ceilings, and peeling paint. It can also make your home feel cold and uncomfortable. This can, in turn, result in increased heating bills and possible health complications such as Asthma, colds, and flu.
