Signs You Need Chandler Leak Repair

If you’ve never had to deal with a leak before, you might not be familiar with some of the warning signs of a leak. While some leaks are obvious in nature, others build up over time in locations that are out of sight.

It’s important to keep a close eye on your household plumbing system and appliances. Here are some warning signs that you may need Chandler leak repair.
 

Sudden Increase in Your Water Bill

It’s normal to see a slight fluctuation in your water bill as the seasons change. (In most cases, Arizona homeowners typically use more water in the summer.)  However, if you notice a sudden and unusual spike in your water bill, this could be a sign that you have a leak somewhere in your home or pool. Keep tabs on your water bill to alert yourself of a potential leak.
 

Growth of Mold and Mildew

Mold and mildew like to grow in warm, moist areas. This makes your bathroom the perfect spot for mold and mildew to grow. Seeing this growth doesn’t always warrant immediate concern that you have a leak. It may just mean that your bathroom has poor ventilation. However, if you see mold growing in and around your shower/tub or on your ceiling, this may indicate you have a bathroom leak. Be sure to clean out mold and mildew as soon as you spot it, but remember where you saw it so you can inspect the area for leaks.
 

Low or Inconsistent Water Pressure

Do you notice low or inconsistent water pressure when you turn on your shower or faucets? If low water pressure only affects one room, it could just be a clogged drain causing sluggish water. However, if your water pressure is inconsistent throughout your house, you might have a leak (or several) that is causing this issue. Call a professional leak detection company right away if you suspect you have a leak in your plumbing system.
 

Dripping Showerheads or Faucets

Leaks in your showerheads or faucets are usually pretty easy to spot. Usually, these leaks can be fixed by tightening up the fixture or replacing it altogether. But just because these leaks are small doesn’t mean you should ignore them! Leaks waste hundreds of gallons of water and hundreds of dollars from your pocket.
 

Standing Water Near Appliances

This is one of the most obvious signs of a leak, but it can still be easy to miss if you aren’t keeping an eye on your appliances. Check underneath sinks and behind household appliances like toilets, dishwashers, refrigerators, and washers. If you see standing water underneath exposed pipes or behind the appliance itself, you definitely have a leak!
 

Strange Noises Behind Walls

If you hear strange hissing, banging, or gurgling sounds coming from inside your walls, this could be an indication of a leak or clog somewhere in your plumbing system. You’ll want to contact a professional leak detection company to locate the leak for you, as most are too far in the plumbing system for you to find yourself.
 

Water Damage on Walls and Ceilings

If you’re like most homeowners, you dread the sight of water stains. Not only is water damage unsightly and expensive, but it is also an indicator of a much larger problem. Unfortunately, water stains indicate that your leak has been around for a long time.
 

Sudden Drop in Pool Water Level

It’s normal to lose some pool water due to evaporation, especially during the summer months. However, if your pool rapidly loses water and you find yourself refilling it every day, you definitely have a leak! Make sure to address this problem right away to save yourself time and money.
 

Wet Spots in Your Yard

Are there wet, soggy areas in your backyard? If so, this may be a sign of a pool leak or a leak in your irrigation lines. The sooner you address this problem, the sooner you can get your yard back to normal! Plus, soggy soil or grass can affect the stability of your pool foundation, so be sure to get this issue resolved as soon as possible.
