A hidden or untreated water leak can quickly result in the growth of mold and mildew, which thrive in damp environments. This can cause:

• Visible damage such as stains, discoloration, and warped surfaces 
• Unpleasant odors, like persistent musty smells 
• Health risks, especially for individuals with allergies, asthma, or respiratory conditions

A sudden spike in your water bill is often one of the first signs of a hidden water leak. Even small leaks can waste hundreds of gallons each month—costing you more than you realize. Start by inspecting common problem areas around your home:

• Toilets 
• Faucets
• Exposed pipes
• Water heater connections

If you hear the sound of water running even though no taps, appliances, or fixtures are in use, it could be a sign of a hidden water leak.  Don’t wait—early detection can prevent costly damage.

If it sounds like your well water pump is running even when no water is being used, this could indicate a leak or an issue with the pump system. It’s important to address this promptly, as it can lead to increased energy costs and potential damage. 

If your water meter shows increased usage over the course of an hour, even though no water is being used, it’s a strong indicator of a hidden water leak. Don’t let the leak waste water and drive up your bill.

Cracks in your flooring or walls could be a sign of foundation issues, potentially caused by water leaks beneath the surface. These cracks may worsen over time if left untreated, leading to more significant damage. If you suspect a leak is causing the problem, don’t wait.

If you’ve noticed wet, warm, or discolored spots suddenly appearing on your walls or flooring, it could be a sign of a hidden water leak—possibly from a slab leak or broken pipe. These signs shouldn’t be ignored, as they can quickly lead to structural damage and mold growth.
