Whether they’re big or small, the damage can still be done. If you suspect that you have a plumbing leak in your home, it’s important that you call the plumbing experts at Papalia Home Services as soon as possible to prevent costly repairs and damages down the road. Here are some warning signs of a leak: Warning Signs of a Plumbing Leak Mold or mildew. These are telltale signs of a leak! When enough water accumulates, they can grow easily and rapidly. If you can see it, or you can smell it, it needs to be taken care of immediately. Not only can they result in costly repairs, they can cause breathing related illnesses to pop up in your home. Damaged walls. Whether it’s paint, wallpaper, or wood, it’s possible for water damage to occur. Keep an eye out for any sagging or droopy spots, as well as discoloration. Warped walls and doors. Any type of leak or water damage is very harmful to wood, and wooden walls and doors are no exception. While the damage might be slight at first, it’s a good idea to check your walls for any curved planks, uneven surfaces, or changes in color. Condensation. If your walls appear to be sweating, it’s because there’s a leak somewhere inside your wall. A “sweating” wall or condensation is usually the result of excessive moisture accumulating behind a wall. Damaged flooring. It’s important to not only watch your walls and ceilings, but your floors as well, as hidden leaks can happen beneath tile and wood planks. Be on the lookout for warped wood, stains, soft areas, loose or cracking tiles, peeling caulk, and damp carpet. Foundation problems. House leaks can also happen underground. If you notice there are cracks in your garage floor, it could be due to an underground waterline leak. Broken pipes beneath your house can lead to soil erosion, causing parts of the house to settle at a lower level. Warm or damp floors. A damp floor can indicate a plumbing or foundation leak, but if your floors are both damp and warm, the problem may have to do with your water heater. Hot water leaks are another potential problem, and if your water heater isn’t the culprit, you may have a sewer line leak. Hot water leaks are especially problematic, as mold grows faster with hot water.
