Rising water bills. If your water bill is rising but you’re using about the same amount of water from month to month, a water leak may be to blame.
Check your water meter. This is an easy way to tell if you have a leak. First, make sure you aren’t using any water – turn off faucets, showers, washers, dishwashers, etc. – then check your water meter. If the meter shows that you are still using water, you may have a leak. The usage rate will indicate if you have a slow or fast leak.
Check appliance and fixtures. Check the cabinets under laundry, kitchen, and bathroom sinks as well as around and beneath the tub, toilet, water heater, dishwasher, etc. Don’t forget to check the faucets, hoses, and any water features you may have on the outside of your home as well.
Call1st Choice Plumbing, Flood & Restoration immediately if you begin to notice any of these signs:
- Discoloration of your walls and/or ceiling
- Mildew
- Bubbling, bulging, or discolored wallpaper
- A musty smell
- A dripping sound
- Standing water
You May Have Mold Damage As Well
A hidden water leak can cause other kinds of damage as well. The moisture, along with the wood and other organic surfaces in your home, combine to provide the perfect growing medium for mold spores. Left unchecked, mold growth not only causes damage to your home but can also pose a health threat to you and your family.
