Not all leaks are obvious. Some drip silently behind walls, under floors, or in the ceiling — leading to costly damage if ignored. Here are signs you might have a hidden leak:

• Unexplained Spike in Your Water Bill
  If your usage hasn’t changed but your bill has, water might be escaping somewhere.

• Damp or Musty Smells
  Persistent odors could mean water is seeping into wood or drywall.

• Water Stains on Walls or Ceilings
  Yellowish spots are often a giveaway of pipe leaks overhead.

• Soft Spots or Warped Flooring
  Water under flooring causes buckling, soft spots, or peeling finishes.

• Running Water Sounds
  Hearing water when no tap is on? That’s a red flag.

💡 DIY Leak Check:

• Turn off all faucets and water-using appliances.

• Check your water meter. If it’s still moving, you’ve got a leak.
