What to Do When You Have a Water Leak

Water leaks, whether they come from a damaged water heater, a worn-out faucet washer, or ill-fitting pipes, can cause a lot of problems. A simple water leak can eventually lead to expensive water bills, mold growth, and irritating dripping sounds that can be heard all night long. If you suspect that you have a water leak in your home, it’s crucial to get the problem addressed right away before it gets out of hand.

How to Find Water Leaks

You can visually check areas where leaks are likely to occur, including faucets, dishwasher and washing machine connections, the base of your toilet, your outdoor faucets, and your hot water heater. For leaks you can’t see, keep an eye on your water pressure and water bill. Any sudden changes in either can indicate a leaking pipe. You can also trust your nose to help you find water leaks, as dampness will often have a musty odor.
