Signs You Have a Leak

Here's a quick rundown of the usual suspects when it comes to leaks in local homes:

Faucets: You know the drill – that constant drip in your kitchen or bathroom sink. It might seem small, but it adds up on your water bill.
Toilets: Sometimes they run silently, wasting gallons without you even realizing it. Keep an ear out for any hissing or phantom flushing.
Pipes: These can leak anywhere in your walls or under your floors. Damp spots or a musty smell can be a clue.
Sewer Lines: These are the smelly ones! If you notice foul odors inside or outside your house, especially near drains, it could be a sewer leak.
Slab Leaks: As we mentioned, these happen under your foundation. Keep an eye out for things like low water pressure, warm spots on the floor, or a sudden spike in your water bill.

Catching any of these early is a big win. Give our friendly team a call, and you can relax knowing your home is protected from water worries. Getting on top of it quickly not only saves you money but also keeps your home safe and sound for the long haul.

Common Leaks Around Your House: A Closer Look

Faucets: That constant drip is usually pretty obvious. Fix it quick to save water and your sanity!
Toilets: These can be silent water wasters. Listen for any unexpected running sounds.
Pipes: Hiding in walls or under floors, these leaks can cause damp spots and even mold if you're not careful.
Sewer Lines: Definitely the ones you'll notice with a nasty smell. These can even be a health hazard.
Slab Leaks: Keep an eye out for lower water pressure or warm spots on the floor, especially if your water bill suddenly jumps.
