Signs Of A Water Leak Inside Your Wall...
Water leaks are serious. If they aren’t fixed right away they can damage both your property and your health because moisture helps mould grow.
Unfortunately, you sometimes won’t know you have a water leak until it has already done thousands of dollars worth of damage. So, it’s wise to pay close attention. Here’s how to find a water leak inside a wall:
💦 Signs Of A Water Leak Can Include…
Discoloured Areas – Leaky water pipes inside walls can cause spots of discoloration to appear.
Mould in Areas where you didn’t expect to find it – Mould in damp areas like bathrooms isn’t that surprising. We’ve probably all seen it at some point in our lives. However, black or brown mould elsewhere in your house could be the sign a leaky pipe.
Wet Areas – Obviously, a wet wall could mean a leaking pipe. However, keep in mind that the leak might not be directly behind the damp area. The water from leaking pipes can emerge and travel down the pipe before it eventually comes into contact with your drywall.
Peeling Paint or Wallpaper
Warped or discoloured floor or ceiling – Is your drywall, ceiling, or floor warped? Does your floor feel spongy when you walk on it? These are signs of a water leak.
A Musty smell – Just because you don’t see any water damage doesn’t mean it’s not there. Sometimes just the smell is enough to alert you.
Pools of water – Have you determined they aren’t coming from appliances? If so, you might have a leaky water pipe.
Dripping Sounds – Do you hear the sound of dripping water when you turn off the faucet or shower? You might have a pipe that’s leaking water.
High Water Bill – This won’t tell you where a leak is located. However, it’s a strong indication you probably have one.
