Signs You Need Leak Detection and Repair

Being proactive and recognizing the early warning signs of a leak can save you considerable time, money, and stress. Here are some key indicators that your business might be harboring a hidden leak, demanding professional leak detection and repair:

1. UNEXPECTEDLY HIGH WATER BILLS

If you notice a sudden and unexplained spike in your water consumption without any significant changes in your usage patterns, a leak is a prime suspect. 

2. DAMP SPOTS, STAINS, OR DISCOLORATION

Keep an eye out for damp areas on walls, ceilings, or floors. Water stains, often brownish or yellowish, are a tell-tale sign of persistent moisture. Peeling paint or wallpaper can also indicate water damage behind the surface.

3. MUSTY OR MOLDY ODORS

A persistent musty or moldy smell, especially in specific areas, suggests the presence of trapped moisture. Leaks create the perfect environment for mold and mildew to thrive, which can not only damage your property but also pose health risks.

4. THE SOUND OF RUNNING WATER (WHEN NOTHING IS IN USE)

Listen carefully, especially during quiet periods (if you know such a thing in your business). If you hear the faint sound of running water when all faucets and appliances are turned off, it's a strong indication of a leak somewhere in your plumbing system.

5. VISIBLE MOLD OR MILDEW GROWTH

The appearance of visible mold or mildew, often in damp or poorly ventilated areas like bathrooms, kitchens, or basements, is a clear sign of excessive moisture, which could be caused by a hidden leak.

6. CRACKS IN WALLS OR FOUNDATIONS

While not always directly caused by water leaks, persistent moisture can contribute to structural issues over time. Notice any new or widening cracks in walls or your building's foundation, as they could be a symptom of underlying water damage.

7. SOGGY OR DAMP PATCHES OUTDOORS

If you notice consistently wet areas in your landscaping, especially near your building's foundation or known plumbing lines, it could indicate an underground leak.
