4 Signs You Have a Hidden Plumbing Leak
Hidden plumbing leaks can be challenging but not impossible to find if you know what to look for. Here are the most common signs to be aware of:
- Mold or mildew on walls: If a wall or ceiling in your house is suddenly growing mold, you likely have a leaking pipe inside one of your walls.
- Random puddles in your home: If you have puddles near walls or corners of your home (that can’t be explained by children, pets, or clumsy people), water might be building up quickly and should be addressed immediately.
- Discolored ceiling or wall: Look out for new water stains around your home.
- Running toilet: A constantly running toilet isn’t just a nightmare for your water bill. It’s a slightly rarer sign you have a plumbing leak. Get it checked out sooner rather than later.

FAQs
When are plumbing leaks most common in Fairfax?
The most common time is winter, when pipes freeze and crack. But we see leaks all year. Whether it’s the changing temperatures or aging pipes, Fairfax homeowners should always look out for the early signs.
What should homeowners do to prevent pipe leaks?
Insulate pipes along exterior walls to prevent freezing. You can also leave doors or cabinets open to pipes in danger of freezing so they can be warmed by household air. Generally, homeowners can get on top of leaks by becoming familiar with their seasonal water usage so they will know immediately when an unexplained spike in their bill occurs.
