Leaks happen. Often, we can see them as soon as they occur under toilets, at outdoor fixtures, or near sinks. Sometimes, they happen behind walls where we can’t see them.

Signs You Have a Wall Leak
By design, most of your home’s plumbing is hidden from view by ceilings, walls, floors, or other structural components. When leaks form, it’s not unusual for a long time to pass before they’re noticed. By that time, a lot of damage may already have been done. If any of these signs appear, call for leak detection and repair immediately:
- Bubbling or discoloration on drywall: Stains or bulges develop near wall leaks.
- Mold or mildew: Damp, warm spots promote the growth of mold or mildew colonies. These are often found accompanied by musty smells.
- Mystery water use: If you turn off all the water fixtures in your house and your water meter is still running, you may have a hidden leak somewhere.
- Running water sounds: The sound of trickling, dripping, or running water from your walls is not typical.
- Spiking utility bills: Sudden spikes in water bills often indicate a leak that needs to be repaired.
- Warm spots: If a spot on the wall is warm to the touch, there may be a hot water leak behind it.
Don’t Let a Leak Go Unrepaired
Unrepaired leaks cause a host of serious problems if left unchecked. The results can be dangerous and costly:
- Drywall loses its integrity
- Foundations develop catastrophic cracks
- Mold and mildew growth
- Walls can be damaged, but so can floors and interior structures
- Wasted water causes utility bills to spike
