Signs You May Have a Hidden Plumbing Leak
Some plumbing leaks are obvious, but others can go unnoticed for weeks or months. If you notice any of the following warning signs, you may have a hidden plumbing leak:
- Higher-than-normal water bill
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- Damp or warped flooring
- Musty odors or mold smell
- Sound of running water when fixtures are off
- Low water pressure
- Wet spots in the yard or near foundation
- Cabinets swelling or soft wood under sinks
- Toilets that run frequently without flushing
Early leak detection can prevent major water damage and costly repairs.
Common Causes of Plumbing Leaks
Leaks often develop due to age, corrosion, worn seals, poor connections, or shifting plumbing lines. Some of the most common causes of residential plumbing leaks include:
- Loose or worn plumbing fittings
- Corroded copper or galvanized pipes
- Failed shutoff valves
- Worn faucet cartridges or seals
- Cracked drain pipes or traps
- Failing toilet wax rings
- Water heater connection failures
- High water pressure stressing the plumbing system
If you have recurring leaks, the plumbing system may need a more complete inspection.
Leak Detection in Redding, CA
Leak detection is not guesswork. We locate the problem and confirm the source before completing repairs. In many cases, identifying the leak early prevents unnecessary damage to walls, floors, or cabinets.
Leak detection service may include:
- Visual inspection of fixtures and exposed plumbing
- Checking valves, fittings, and water heater connections
- Identifying likely leak sources based on symptoms
- Evaluating water pressure issues
- Confirming leaks before repairs are made
If you are seeing water damage but cannot find the source, leak detection is the right first step.
Emergency Leak Repairs
Some plumbing leaks require immediate action, especially when they involve active water flow or risk of flooding. If a pipe bursts, a water heater begins leaking heavily, or a major fixture leak occurs, it is important to shut off the water supply if possible and call a plumber right away.
If you are unsure where your main water shutoff is located, we can help identify it during a service visit.
Preventing Water Damage from Leaks
Many homeowners assume a small drip is harmless, but leaks often worsen over time. The best way to prevent serious damage is to address leaks early and keep plumbing systems maintained.
We recommend calling a plumber if you notice:
- A slow drip under a sink
- Moisture near toilets or water heaters
- A sudden change in water pressure
- Wet drywall, flooring, or baseboards
Leak repairs are usually much less expensive than repairing structural water damage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing Leaks
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
A hidden leak may cause high water bills, mold smells, water stains, damp flooring, or the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use.
Are plumbing leaks an emergency?
Some leaks are minor, but any leak can cause damage. If water is actively flowing or flooding is possible, it should be treated as an emergency.
What should I do if I find a leak?
If possible, shut off the water supply to the fixture or the main shutoff valve and call a plumber immediately.
Can a toilet cause a hidden leak?
Yes. Toilets can leak from the base, tank, or internal components, and some leaks are silent but still waste large amounts of water.
