Common Types of Plumbing Leaks in Your Home

Plumbing leaks can show up in different ways throughout your home. Some are easy to spot, while others stay hidden until the damage is done. Here are a few of the most common leaks we find during inspections:

Water Heater Leaks

Traditional water heaters hold water 24 hours a day and are constantly changing temperatures, which leads to the decay of seals and causes leaks. Be sure to regularly check your hot water tank, specifically the pressure release valve, as it is the most common cause of leaks.

Faucet Leaks

Faucet leaks can be a cause of issues, including mould, mildew and increased water consumption. These types of leaks can continuously become worse and lead to more costly repairs, so it’s important to fix a dripping faucet right away.

Toilet Leaks

Toilet leaks can come in many different forms, including around the base, internal leaks, feed line connection, cracks in the bowl, gaskets, and more. Toilet leaks can cause a lot of damage if not caught early, so be sure to contact a plumber if you notice any type of leak.

Drain Leaks

The drains in your bathtub, sinks, and showers are often hidden, and leaks can go unnoticed for some time. If you notice any signs of water damage under your sink or in your ceilings, our water leak detection experts can diagnose and repair the issues.

Common Signs of a Plumbing Leak

Hidden leaks often result in some of the most expensive repairs to your home. While leaks are not always detectable, there are a few tell-tale signs to watch out for to help you spot hidden plumbing leaks.

Increased Water Consumption

If you notice that your water bill has increased despite your household’s water usage remaining the same, it could be an indicator of a leak. Seek the advice of a professional plumber if you have noticed a change in your home plumbing efficiency and suspect a leak.

Reduced Water Pressure

Low water pressure could indicate that there is a leak somewhere in your line, and it could be causing damage to your building each passing second. If the pressure has changed drastically, turn off your main water valve until a professional can assess the situation.

Water Damage

Common signs of water damage include sagging, warping, discoloration, water rings, bubbling or peeling paint, moisture, water, mould, and mildew. Leaks don’t stop themselves, so if you notice any of these signs, call an emergency plumber right away.
