    Signs you’ve Sprung a Leak

    Many leaks are undetectable to the naked eye. That’s because your plumbing system doesn’t start and stop with your faucets and toilet tanks. Pipes run deep in your walls and underground, making it frustratingly difficult to pinpoint the problem.

    If you notice any of the signs below, you may be dealing with a hidden leak:
    • Discolored, warped, or damaged walls/ceilings
    • A sudden, unexplainable increase in the water bill
    • An overgrown or inexplicably damp patch of lawn
    • Mold or mildew
    • Foul odor

    Have you noticed one of these telltale signs of leakage? Don’t wait! Call Bill Metzger Plumbing or contact us online today to schedule leak detection services.

    Leak Detection FAQs


    Unless there’s an appliance in use like a dishwasher or clothes washer, a hidden water leak is likely in this case. We recommend calling a professional immediately, as a leak of this kind can mean structural damage to your home!


    Extreme heat or cold, an older pipe system, tree roots, ground shifts, and other nature-based hazards can cause hidden leaks. It’s best to be prepared for them eventually and know what to do. (Namely, call in an expert plumber).


    Low water pressure could be due to many factors, and a leak is one of them. Check to make sure your water supply is turned on full blast. Then, check your system for obvious clogs. If this doesn’t fix the problem, a leak is more likely.
