Top 3 Signs Of A Hidden Water Leak

It is vital that if you even suspect you may have a hidden water leak in your house, you find out if the leak is confirmed then call an experienced leak detection plumber. Water damage needs to be tackled as fast as possible.

1

Musty Odours

A musty odour can be produced in your home by even a small quantity of extra moisture or water as it absorbs into things like wood, drywall, and furniture. Your walls will quickly become damaged by mould development if the leak occurs inside of them, which could necessitate the demolition of the entire affected area. There may be a concealed leak in your home if there is a distinct musty odour.

2

Mould

One of the most obvious indications of a hidden leak is mould. Mold usually indicates a leak that has existed for a considerable amount of time. The most likely locations to be affected and disturbed by mould growth are bathrooms, kitchens, and basements since it thrives in environments with an excessive amount of moisture. The ideal habitat for the growth of mould spores is a plumbing leak.

3

Water Stains

If a leak has gone undetected for quite some time, it may be picked up after a while due to a noticeable water stain growing on the ceiling or walls. These stains occur as a leak gradually worsens and is absorbed into your drywall or wallpaper. These will not stop on their own accord and will increase in size until a qualified plumber is able to resolve the problem.

Some mould and water stains may due to a leaking shower.
