Hidden Water Leaks in Houston, TX

A leak in your plumbing system can cause a great deal of damage to your home and your belongings. The water can weaken the structure of your home, warp floors and walls and ruin furniture and other belongings. The dampness can also lead to the growth of harmful mold and bacteria.

Often times, when a leak occurs, the source is readily evident. Either one can see the rushing water or hear its sound. Smaller leaks, however, can be more insidious. The water hidden inside your walls or ceiling can travel a great distance before it becomes evident, making it difficult to know where the problem lies.

Other hidden leaks can occur in underground pipes or pipes that run under concrete. You may not even be aware that it is happening unless you happen to notice water pooling in parts of your yard, hear a gurgling or dripping sound, or notice an increase on your monthly usage bill. Lucky for you, Wedgeworth Plumbing also services slab leaks, too.

If you suspect you have a hidden leak, you can check by first making sure that all the taps in your house are shut off and that none of the appliances that consume water are in use. Then, check your water meter. If it indicates that water is still being consumed, you probably have a hidden leak.
