Leaking pipes in a home can cause significant damage if left unaddressed, so it’s important to know the signs to look out for. The following are some of the main signs of leaking pipes in a residential property that our plumbers point out to homeowners and tenants: Damp or discoloured walls or ceilings: Leaking water can often cause dampness or discolouration on walls and ceilings. Musty odours: Standing water can produce a bad smell that is often noticeable in a home. Increased water bills: A leaking pipe will waste water and cause an increase in water bills. Low water pressure: A leaking pipe can cause a decrease in water pressure throughout your home. Sounds of running water: Even when no taps are running or appliances are in use, the sound of running water could indicate a leak. Mould growth: Excess moisture from a leaking pipe can result in mould growing on the walls and floor Puddles or wet spots: Water puddles or wet spots in areas where there should not be any water are clear indicators of a leaking pipe. It’s important to address any signs of a leaking pipe in your home to avoid further damage to the property and potential health hazards. If you notice any of these signs, contact Service Today.
