Common signs of a hidden plumbing leak
Leaks can travel along framing, pipes, cabinets, and flooring before becoming visible. The wet spot is not always directly below the source.
- Water stains that grow or return
- Damp cabinets, walls, flooring, or baseboards
- The sound of running or dripping water with fixtures off
- Unexpected water use or a meter that continues moving
- Musty odors near plumbing walls or wet materials
- Low pressure or recurring wet areas without an obvious source
