Repairing Leaky and Damaged Water Lines

Water leaks can cause significant damage in a home or business, especially if they are concealed behind a finished wall.

Signs That You Have a Damaged Water Line

When a water line is leaking, it is not always immediately apparent. Water can soak into porous materials like wood, drywall, or soil, and it may take a while to notice the excessive moisture or to actually see water pooling. Here are a few of the most notable signs of a leak:

• High water bills – Even a minor leak can affect water bills significantly, and you should be vigilant about any sudden increases in usage.
• Wet drywall, flooring, or molding – A water line hidden inside a wall may start to soak into porous materials, and it will often travel far from the source using capillary action.
• Stained walls or ceilings – Water leaks will often leave a stain on wall or ceiling surfaces that grows darker with age, intensity, or mold contamination.
• Dripping or pooling water – A large enough leak will produce visible dripping, pooling, or splattering.
• Reduced pressure – Leaks in either interior or exterior water lines can reduce the pressure and flow of water throughout the building.
• Wet soil – If the underground water line from the building to the municipal supply is leaking, you may notice moist soil, pooling water, or erosion.
