How do I know if I have a hidden leak in my home?
Hidden leaks aren’t always easy to spot, but there are a few telltale signs. If you’ve noticed your water bill suddenly spiking for no clear reason, that’s a big red flag. Damp spots on walls or ceilings, mysterious puddles on the floor, or even mold or mildew growth in places that don’t usually get wet can all point to a leak.
You might also hear water running when all your faucets are off. If any of these things sound familiar, it’s worth having a professional check for a hidden leak before it causes bigger problems.
What causes leaks in pipes or plumbing?
Leaks can happen for a bunch of reasons. Over time, old pipes can corrode, especially in older homes, leading to cracks or breaks. Shifts in the ground or settling of the house can put stress on pipes, causing them to crack. High water pressure can also damage pipes over time.
Another common cause is tree roots—they can invade underground pipes, especially sewer lines, and cause blockages or leaks. Regular wear and tear, faulty installation, or poor-quality materials can also lead to plumbing leaks.
How much does leak detection cost in El Monte?
The cost of leak detection in El Monte can vary depending on how tricky the leak is to find.
If it’s an easily accessible leak, like under a sink or in a visible pipe, the cost is usually lower.
But if the leak is hidden behind walls, underground, or in harder-to-reach places, it could take more time and equipment to locate, which can increase the price. A professional plumber will be able to give you a quote once they assess the situation, so you’ll know upfront what to expect without any surprises.
What happens if I ignore a small leak?
Ignoring a small leak might not seem like a big deal, but it can lead to major problems over time. Even a slow drip can waste a surprising amount of water, driving up your bills and wasting a valuable resource.
More importantly, a small leak can cause hidden water damage to your walls, floors, and even the structure of your home. Left unchecked, it can create the perfect conditions for mold and mildew, which can be both costly and dangerous to remove.
Addressing a small leak early can save you from a much bigger headache down the line.
