How to Find a Water Leak Fast

Leak RepairIt seems that water leaks have a tendency to catch you by surprise. By the time you find the source of the leak, it seems like it has been there for a long while. Thankfully, there are a few signs that you can pick up on to find a water leak fast. Once you find a leak, call the experts at Reichelt Plumbing to repair your plumbing quickly so you can get back to your life.

Unexplained Increase on Your Water Bill

One of the first signs that you may have a water leak is an unexplained jump on your water bill. If your water use is relatively consistent and all of a sudden your bill jumps up with no price rate increase, you may have a water leak. Compare your old bills to your new one.

Mildew Smell

If you suddenly notice a weird mildew smell wafting through your home, you may have a water leak. Check around your home for any stains on the ceiling or walls. Inspect around your sinks and toilets for pools of water. If you still can locate where the smell is coming from, call an experienced plumber to perform an inspection.

Check Your Meter

If you think you may have a water line leak, a quick and easy way to check is through your water meter. Shut off the water coming to your home. The water shut off valve is typically located on the outside of your home or in your basement. Watch your meter. If your meter still is moving even with the water shut off, you may have a leak.

If you have performed these steps and still can’t find the leak, you need to call the licensed plumbers at Reichelt Plumbing. Call us today at (219) 322-4906 to schedule your appointment today.
