Signs You Have A Plumbing Leak?

What do you think could be one of the most destructive things to happen to your home? What if you learned that it was just a simple plumbing leak. Leaks occur all the time, and what's worse is that most homeowners don't even realize that they have a leak until months or perhaps years later. Leaks are stealthy. They can be anywhere in the plumbing system. It can be behind a wall, under the floors, or even running under the home. No matter where the leak is situated, getting it repaired is a top priority to prevent damage.
 
How would you know if there is a leak? Is it something that is quite obvious, or is there a potential for missing it. For many homeowners, they do miss the signs of a leak. Big or small knowing the symptoms of a water leak can alert you sooner so that you may get repairs and reduce your total cost for fixing the problem. 
 
 
Higher Than Average Water Bill
 
Often homeowners can determine they have a water leak just by looking at their water bill, if applicable. Though some homes run on a well system, those that use a city water supply will have a water bill. If you notice an increase and your water bill, it could have something to do with a leak, not that the water company is overcharging you. Look at your usage from month to month and see how much it changes. If you don't have any drastic changes in the way you use water, it could be because of a leak.
 
 
You Can See A Leak/ Water Accumulation
 
Obviously, if you see water where it shouldn't be, this is a pretty good indication you have a plumbing leak in your home. Though obvious leaks are less likely than those behind the walls and under the house, they are easy to identify. 
 
 
Water Rings or Black Mold Appearance
 
Water rings and the appearance of black mold almost always suggest the presence of a water leak. Though it could be from an older leak that has been fixed, you'll want to have this checked out by a professional plumber. They can verify whether or not it's an active leak or one that's already been corrected.
