Signs You May Have a Hidden Water Leak

You do not have to see water on the floor to know something is wrong. These are common signs that your home may have a leak behind the scenes:

• A sudden, unexplained increase in your water bill
• Damp or discolored walls, ceilings, or flooring
• Musty or earthy smells in specific rooms
• Visible mold or mildew growth
• Low or inconsistent water pressure
• The sound of running water when all fixtures are off

If you notice any of these red flags, it is time to schedule a professional inspection.

Why Prompt Water Leak Detection Matters

Even a small hidden plumbing leak can cause long-term issues if left untreated. The longer a leak goes unnoticed, the more damage it can do to your home and your wallet.

• Prevent water damage to walls, floors, and furniture
• Avoids structural problems in framing or foundations
• Protects indoor air quality by reducing mold risk
• Saves money by catching issues early
• Conserves water and helps lower utility bills

Quick action can make all the difference when it comes to protecting your home and your health.

Our Professional Water Leak Detection Process

At Meetze Plumbing, we use advanced diagnostic tools to locate leaks accurately without cutting into walls or floors unless necessary. Our methods are safe, non-invasive, and highly effective.

Tools we may use during a plumbing inspection include:

• Acoustic sensors to detect sound variations caused by escaping water
• Infrared thermal imaging to spot temperature changes in walls and floors
• Moisture meters to determine dampness levels behind surfaces
• Pressure testing to verify pipe integrity and identify hidden issues

Our technicians are trained to interpret these readings carefully, ensuring that any leak is pinpointed with minimal disruption to your home.

Common Sources of Leaks We Detect

Leaks can occur in many different parts of a home, especially in older plumbing systems or areas with high water usage. Our team regularly detects and repairs leaks in areas such as:

• Pipes inside walls, ceilings, or crawl spaces
• Outdoor water supply lines and irrigation systems
• Water heater or fixture connections
• Appliance supply lines and shutoff valves

While we do not provide slab leak detection, we do offer expert repairs for damaged slab plumbing once the leak has been located. Whether the issue is inside or outside the home, our experienced plumbers know what to look for and how to resolve it quickly.
