Don’t wait until you see flooding—these subtle signs often indicate serious hidden leaks:

Unexplained High Water Bills

• Sudden spikes of 20% or more with no change in usage
• Compare bills seasonally—summer spikes may indicate irrigation leaks

Mold or Musty Odors

• Persistent damp smells in bathrooms, basements, or kitchens
• Black or green spots on walls, ceilings, or under sinks

Low Water Pressure

• Gradual pressure loss often means pipe corrosion or leaks
• Sudden drops may indicate a major line break

Sounds of Running Water

• Hissing behind walls when no fixtures are on
• Toilets that refill randomly

Wet Spots or Pooling Water

• Damp carpets with no spills
• Puddles in your yard away from sprinklers

Foundation Cracks or Settling

• New cracks in walls or floors
• Doors/windows that stick due to shifting

Hot Spots on Floors

• Warm areas may indicate slab leaks from hot water lines

Water Meter Changes

• Check your meter (don’t use water for 2 hours)—if it moves, you have a leak

🚨 Emergency Tip: If you hear gushing water or see rapid pooling, call (702) 680-0901 immediately—this indicates a major pipe rupture!
