How to Know if You Need Gilbert Leak Detection

Now that you know some of the most common areas for leaks, let’s review some of the warning signs that you have a leak. If any of these signs sound familiar, call us right away for Gilbert leak detection. The sooner you take action, the sooner we can resolve your problem.
 

Signs You Need Leak Detection Services:

Unusually high water bills. 

You may notice a seasonal change in your water bill, which is usually normal. However, if you notice a sudden spike in your water bill, this is a likely sign that you have a hidden leak that is wasting water.
 

Strange noises coming from the walls or ceiling. 

Do you hear a strange hissing or gurgling noise coming from behind walls? If so, it may be a sign of a leak somewhere in your plumbing.
 

Low or inconsistent water pressure.

Do you find that your shower, bathtub, and sinks have low water pressure? If so, this could be a sign of a clog deep within the plumbing. If left untreated, clogs can cause damage that leads to leaks.
 

Decreasing water level in the pool. 

Evaporation is normal for pools, especially in the summertime. But if your pool has suddenly lost a significant amount of water (and continues to lose water even if you refill it), this is a very likely sign that you have a leak.
 

Standing water near appliances.

This is one of the most obvious signs of a leak. Keep a close eye on your household appliances and make sure there is no standing water underneath exposed pipes or the appliances themselves.
 

Algae growing in the pool. 

If you find yourself refilling your pool water on a regular basis, you might also notice algae starting to grow. Algae often grows when your pool’s chemicals are out of balance. Keep an eye on your pool’s water levels and chemical balance.
 

Water stains on walls or ceilings.

Water stains can take a while to form. However, seeing one means that you’ve had a leak building up for a long time. If you spot water stains on your walls or ceilings, call a leak detection company right away!
 

Water damage.

If you see peeling wallpaper, cracking walls, or curling wood, you definitely have a water leak! Unfortunately, this damage is expensive to repair. Be sure to call a leak detection company immediately to fix the leak that is causing all this damage.
 

Growth of mold or mildew. 

Mold and mildew like to grow in moist, humid environments. This means that your bathroom is the perfect place for mold to grow. If you see new mold or mildew, it could just be a sign that your room isn’t well-ventilated. However, if it is growing around your shower, bathtub, or toilet, this could indicate a leak.
 

Wet spots in your yard. 

Does your landscaping feel muddy or soft? It could be a sign of either a pool leak or a leak in your irrigation line. Either way, be sure to get the leak taken care of as soon as possible. Long-term leaks in your backyard could affect the structural integrity of your pool or foundation.
