Inspecting Your Home For Water Leaks

Water leaks are not just annoying, they can cause serious damage to your home and lead to costly repairs. Considering numerous plumbing pipes are hidden behind walls, under floors, and above ceilings it can be difficult to determine where a water leak originated from. Undetected water leaks can cause permanent water damage, mold growth, and even health risks for you and your home. It is important to address and repair any leaking pipes in your home as soon as possible.


To avoid the risk of water damage caused by undetected leaks, we advise that you periodically inspect your plumbing system to ensure your home is safe from water damage. Although most leaks are detected shortly after a failure has occurred, other plumbing leaks can go unnoticed for an extended period of time. 

Performing annual home plumbing inspections help ensure problems areas are detected before a plumbing emergency occurs. The most common areas to inspect for leaks are:

Leaky Faucet

Although most leaky faucets are simply considered a nuisance and do not require prompt repairs, they should be addressed sooner than later to limit water wastages and unnecessary increases to your utility bill. Remember to check under your sink as well, faucets not only leak from the spout or handle, but they can also leak at the hose connections located in the cabinets as well. Although small leaks may just seem like a minor inconvenience, such as a leaky tap or dripping shower faucet, they could be indications of a more serious issue with your plumbing system.  

Toilet Leaks

Composed of several parts, a toilets leak can occur in areas such as the tank, valve, bowl and drain which consequently causes a puddle of water to accumulate around the base of your toilet. If you notice a lot of moisture accruing on your toilet tank or bowl, inspect the area closely as you may have a hair line crack. 

Water Line Leaks

Your water supply lines not only produce various water temperatures but also consistent pressure. These factors along with possible corrosion, age, or sub-standard plumbing fittings can cause water leaks to occur. Considering water supply lines are located in various areas in your home, including ceilings, floors, behind drywall, and basements, it can be difficult for homeowners to determine where a water leak originated from.

Leaking Drain Pipes

Loose or worn-out seals, damaged pipes, increased water pressure, and improper fitted pipes are just a few reasons why your drain pipes may be leaking. Unlike waterline leaks, drain pipes are used to remove waste water out of your home and can cause substantial damage to your home if they fail to drain properly. Addressing these water leaks early prevents mold and costly repairs. 

Water Heater Leaks

Hot water tanks store several gallons of water with varying temperatures. The heat and pressure that builds up within the unit can corrode seals and fittings ultimately causing water leaks.

Dishwasher leaks

Dishwashers have several moving parts that can wear down causing the unit to leak. An obvious sign your dishwasher is leaking is noticing puddling of water around it. However, it is always a good idea to inspect the basement, directly below the dishwasher while it is in use, to ensure it is not leaking from lower floors as well. Discovering a dishwasher leak early is the key to not only preventing water damage to your floor and cabinets, but preventing harmful mold growth as well. 

Our Plumbers have seen it all when it comes to leaking or damaged pipes. When you have a leaky pipe, give us a call right away, and we will make sure it gets fixed quickly so you don’t have to worry about water damage or mold growth in your home.

Water Meter Reading Test

How To Easily Determine If You Have A Hidden Water Leak Using Your Water Meter

If you suspect a hidden water leak, you can confirm your suspicions with a simple water meter test. First, locate your water meter and record the current numbers displayed. Then avoid running any water for at least two hours and then take another reading. If the numbers change, you can be sure you have a leak somewhere in your home.


Most water meters in homes nowadays have a small device inside the water metre display case that will spin when water is in use. It could be a small yellow or red arrowed-shaped dial, or a small circular black dial that will be constantly circulating when water is being used. If you are not using any water voluntarily, and the dial is still moving you have a water leak somewhere in your plumbing system.
