How to Spot a Hidden Water Leak Before It Gets Worse

A hidden water leak can raise your water bill, damage drywall, and encourage mold growth before you ever see standing water. Watch for unexplained increases in water use, musty odors, peeling paint, warm spots on floors, and the sound of running water when fixtures are off.

Check your water meter after turning off every faucet and water-using appliance. If the meter continues moving, schedule professional leak detection. Early diagnosis can reduce repair costs and protect your home.
