What are the telltale signs of a water leak?
There are several common signs that indicate your home may have water leaks in your Bloomington, IL residence. They include:
- Moisture on floors, walls, or ceilings: This can be resulting from a number of sources besides a leaky pipe. If you notice moisture on the floors, walls, or ceilings, check your crawl space and/or basement to make sure there are no visible signs of dampness or water pooling on the surfaces.
- A musty smell: If your home begins to smell musty it’s an indication that there is excess moisture in the air, which can result from a water leak.
- Frequent utility bills: If you begin to receive higher than usual utility bills (water, gas, electric) without explanation or your meter readings are more frequent or spinning faster than normal it could be an indication of a water leak.
- Beeping sounds from your utility meter: If you hear frequent beeping noises coming from your water meter this could be an indication of a problem with the device or that it’s malfunctioning.
- Water stains on ceilings and/or moldy surfaces: If you notice water stains on the ceiling, walls, or other surfaces in your home it can be a result of a water leak.
