COMMON WATER LEAKS

Toilets: If there is motion in toilet or hearing water running or water level is higher than the overflow tube you may have a leaky toilet. Listen to check if the water is still flowing after you’ve flushed the toilet. You can also perform a dye test to check if water is running from tank to bowl. (Add food color drops to the tank and see if it flows into the bowl without flushing.)

Faucets: Numerous faucets within your household could potentially be the origin of a water leak. Verifying these leaks is straightforward – just take a stroll around and pay attention for any dripping sounds. Additionally, be on the lookout for indications that the faucet was recently leaking, such as water residue in the sink.

Irrigation: Your irrigation system or the outdoor hose can also serve as potential for leaks. When it’s solely the hose, pinpointing the water source is usually straightforward. You might have to replace the hose or its fittings. However, identifying leaks in irrigation systems can be more challenging. Leaks may be hidden within a sprinkler head or an underground line. In such cases, it’s advisable to seek the assistance of a professional to diagnose and address these leaks.

Supply line: What if you encounter water damage on a ceiling or wall that doesn’t seem to originate from any particular fixture or appliance? This could potentially be attributed to a leak in the plumbing supply lines that transport water to your faucets and various water outlets. These supply lines are typically hidden from view, making these leaks noticeable only when they begin to saturate and seep through the drywall.
