Common Places to Check for Leaks
Leaks can occur anywhere in your plumbing system, but some areas are more prone to hidden water damage. Here’s where to check:
- Under sinks & vanities – Leaky pipes or worn-out seals can cause water damage to cabinets and flooring.
- Toilets & bathroom fixtures – Running toilets and leaky showerheads waste significant amounts of water over time.
- Behind walls & ceilings – Slow leaks in hidden pipes can lead to mold and drywall damage.
- Basements & crawl spaces – Condensation or plumbing leaks in basements often go unnoticed.
- Slab leaks – Leaks beneath your home’s foundation can cause structural damage and must be addressed quickly.
- Outdoor hose bibs & irrigation systems – Small outdoor leaks can lead to excessive water bills.
How to Prevent Future Leaks
While leaks can develop over time, regular maintenance and proactive measures can help prevent costly damage. Here’s how:
- Monitor water bills – A sudden increase could indicate an undetected leak.
- Check water pressure – Excessively high water pressure can weaken pipes over time.
- Inspect seals & caulking – Replace worn-out seals around sinks, toilets, and tubs to prevent leaks.
- Avoid chemical drain cleaners – Harsh chemicals can corrode pipes, increasing the risk of leaks.
- Schedule routine plumbing inspections – A professional plumber can detect minor issues before they become major leaks.
