5 Signs You Have a Plumbing Leak
Leaks can be difficult to find if they are not in an easily accessible space. More often than not, they will happen inside a wall, above the ceiling, or in the basement. Here are a few good indications that you may have a plumbing leak:
- Stains on the walls or ceilings: If you notice damp spots, brown stains, or black pepper-like mold on your walls or ceilings, there may be a leak behind the drywall.
- Damp spots on the floor: If you have damp carpets, warped wood flooring, or wet spots on the floor, a nearby water line may be broken.
- Sounds of dripping water: Depending on the location and the severity of the leak, you may hear sounds of dripping or rushing water.
- Low water pressure: If the leak is large enough, you may notice low pressure in other areas of your home.
- High water bills: Unusually high water bills without a clear cause often point to a hidden plumbing issue.
Leak Alarm Services
Leak alarms can monitor the pressure in your home’s water lines or detect the presence of moisture near an appliance like a water heater, depending on the type and model. Once a leak is detected, the alarm can alert you via audible alarms, lights, or even text messages or mobile notifications, allowing you to respond quickly to the problem
At Rebmann Plumbing, Heating & Air, we offer leak alarm installation and service throughout the Long Island area. We can recommend the best products for your needs and budget.
