Hidden leaks in your home's water supply system could cost you a fortune in your monthly bills and cause severe damage to your living space. Other than inflated bills and structural damage, undiscovered leaks can lead to other dangers like pest infestation and mold and mildew growth. These are both health risks and can damage items in your house. Fortunately, all this can be avoided with early detection and pinpointing the leak source.
If you suspect there is a leak in your plumbing system, be sure to check these areas;
You must have seen the tell-tale signs of a leak like drips, noisy pipes, or moisture damage of walls, floor, or other items in the house for you to suspect there is one. The first thing to do is to check the leak indicator on your meter or simply watch for changes in the meter readings. If there are any, then you have a leak.
You can then go ahead to find the leak in your sinks and faucets, toilets, bathrooms, or hot water heater. You can also check your walls and floors for dampness in case you have a slab leak. Once you pinpoint it, you can fix it or get help from a plumber.
Some of the effective ways in which you can control water leaks include; doing timely plumbing repairs, preventing pipe damage, and shutting off the water from the main shut-off valve. Better yet, you can install a flow sensor which will detect a leak in the plumbing system, and automatically shut off the water.
Hopefully, you will not experience any hidden water leaks in your house soon, but in case you do, don't fret. The earlier you detect it, the better.
