Do not wait to notice some flooding: these are the signs that usually signify dangerous concealed leakage:

1. Water Bill Spikes

• Sudden jump of 20 or more percent in which the usage is not changed
• Compare bills between seasons, such as spikes in the summer which could be a leak in irrigation

2. The growth of Mold or Mildew

• Irrepressible smells of musty drawers and kitchens, bathrooms or basements
• Black/green spot on walls, ceilings or under sinks

3. Impaired water pressure

• Slow loss of pressure frequently signifies corrosion of pipes, or pipe leaks
• Sharp losses can be a large break of line signs

4. Running water noises

• Hissing through walls without any fixtures on
• Toilets which refill at random

5. Wet Spots or Pooling

• Wet carpets free of spills
• Puddles on the yard outside sprinklers

6. Settling or Cracks of the Foundations

• The appearance of new cracks over walls or floors
• Sticking doors/windows because of sliding

7. Floors have Hot Spots

• Hot floors are suspect to leakages on hot water pipes

8. Alterations in Water Meter

Inspect your meter (do not consume water in 2 hours) if it moves then 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!
