Daphne Leak Detection Services

As a homeowner, water damage is one of the last things you ever want to deal with. It can become extensive quick and expensive immediately. Even the smallest of leaks are capable of cracking the very foundation that supports your home.

The best way to prevent this kind of damage is by staying on top of the condition of your plumbing system, knowing the subtle signs that something might be wrong and addressing issues before they have the chance to get worse. The plumbing team here at Baldwin Heating & Cooling is here to make sure you have the knowledge and resources to do all of that and more.

Subtle Signs You Might Have A Water Leak

One of the hardest parts of dealing with water leaks at home is figuring out that you have one in the first place. Unless the water is obviously leaking out of a visible pipe, leaks can be difficult to detect. This allows them to go on far longer than they should, increasing the potential for damage with every lost drop.
Luckily, with a little bit of know-how, there are indicators that every homeowner should be aware of that could indicate a potential water leak.

Increased Water Bills

While no one likes paying their water bill, that monthly payment can actually be one of the best plumbing diagnostic tools at a homeowner’s disposal.
Unless you’re doing something out of the ordinary, like filling a pool, utility bills like water tend to remain fairly consistent on a month-to-month basis. If you notice a subtle or gradual rise in the amount you’re paying for water, it could be a sign that water is being allowed to waste away through a hidden water leak somewhere.

New Mold/Mildew Growth

Mold or mildew should never be ignored, especially if it’s growing in your home. Mold and mildew require a very specific set of conditions to grow and one of the main ingredients it needs to thrive is water, meaning that if you see mold growing, a leak is likely nearby.

Reduced Water Pressure

Our plumbing system functions as a pressurized system of water that needs to be fully enclosed to work at maximum efficiency. For every leak present in your system, the amount of water pressure available to your home will eventually start to decline accordingly.

Because of this relationship between water pressure and leaks, it’s always a good idea to start looking for a leak anytime you notice an unexpected or sudden drop in water pressure.

Foundation/Wall Cracks

A slab leak occurs when the copper piping that runs through the concrete slab of a home bursts. These leaks are some of the worst types of leaks you can face as a homeowner and if left unchecked are capable of causing catastrophic damage to your home.

One of the early warning signs for slab leak detection is sudden cracking or shifting of your home’s foundation or walls. These cracks can be caused by water being forced into places it shouldn’t be and excess water causing the ground your home sits on to settle.
