Common Signs You Might Have A Hidden Water Leak
Hidden water leaks can cause serious damage before you even know there's a problem. From rising water bills to unexpected moisture, knowing what to watch for can help you catch leaks early and avoid costly repairs. Here are some of the most common signs that you may have a hidden water leak in your home.
- Unexplained increase in your water bill
A sudden or steady rise in your water bill—without a change in usage—can be a strong indicator of a hidden leak. Damp or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or floors
Moisture marks, bubbling paint, or soft spots often point to water leaking behind the surface.Musty or moldy odors

If you're seeing mold in places that shouldn't be wet, there may be a leak nearby causing the problem.
- Low water pressure
Leaks in your plumbing system can reduce the pressure coming from your faucets and fixtures. - Sound of running water when nothing's on
If you hear water moving through pipes when no water is being used, a hidden leak may be the cause. - Warm spots on the floor
Warm areas under flooring may indicate a leak in a hot water line beneath the surface. - Foundation cracks or wet spots around your home's exterior
Water leaks under the slab or near exterior pipes can cause soil erosion, leading to cracks or pooling water.
