Water Leaks Can Be Sneaky & Elusive

At American Leak Detection of Connecticut, we know how stressful an undetected leak can be. Sometimes, it can be difficult to determine whether there is a leak in the first place.

Here are some telltale signs of an unnoticed leak:

  • Wet spots or stains – This sign is the most obvious. Sadly, it is not uncommon to overlook or pass off a discolored spot on a wall, ceiling, or surface as an unexplained, one-time event. Don’t make that mistake – hire a leak detection expert before it is too late!
  • Water meter readings – Be proactive and regularly check for undetected leaks by using our water meter! The process is simple: jot down your meter reading, turn off all the water for two hours, and recheck the meter. Any changes will almost always signal a leak.
  • Sights & sounds – Keep an eye out for mold and an ear tuned to the sound of water when no appliances are running.
  • Increasing water bills – There may be an underlying issue if your water bill keeps skyrocketing without any drastic changes in your daily usage.
  • Faulty foundations – Always stay on the lookout for cracks in your walls or flooring.

We hope these tips will help you stay vigilant of possible leaks on your property. Reach out to our specialists today if you’ve noticed any of these signs!
