Trusted Leak Detection Services
Even a small trickle could threaten your home’s integrity. Leaks also bring unfiltered water with bacteria and pollutants into your residence, creating a potential health hazard.
Pay attention to these signs that you need leak detection:
- Trickling sounds
- Wet patches
- Water stains
- Leaning walls
- Musty odors
- Cracks in foundation
- Peeling paint
Mold and mildew tend to grow in wet patches. As the leak worsens, you may notice musty odors, stuffy air, and black splotches on your floors, walls, or ceiling. Flu-like symptoms, such as coughing, sneezing, red eyes, body aches, and fevers, result from mold exposure. Your HVAC system might even circulate mold spores throughout your house, encouraging the spread.
Over time, leaks gradually weaken your home’s structure. Your foundation cracks and shifts, encouraging more leaks and inviting pests into the house. The basement could flood, ruining your belongings. Wood beams rot and start to collapse, and your insulation grows mold and contaminates your house.
When a leak starts in your walls, the paint can flake, chip, or turn different colors. Your wallpaper could bubble, peel, or show visible water stains. If you paint over the stain without fixing the leak, the water will ruin and discolor your wall treatments while damaging the structure underneath.
