What is a Leak?
Leaks can occur in any part of your home or building, causing water damage, mold growth, and other structural issues. Understanding the signs and symptoms of a leak is crucial to detecting it promptly.
Detecting Leaks
Signs of a leak include visible water stains, dampness, or musty odors. Look for unusual sounds like dripping or running water, and check for any water damage or discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors.
Prevention and Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key to preventing leaks. Check for damaged or loose pipes, and consider installing water-efficient fixtures like low-flow showerheads and toilets. Keep your home's exterior clean and dry, and inspect your roof for missing or damaged shingles.
