 Checklist |
|
A higher than normal water bill might
be your first indication of a leaking pipe. Or you might hear the
sound of running water even when all your fixtures are turned off.
When you suspect a leak, check the fixtures first to make sure all
the faucets are tightly closed. Then go to the water meter, if you
have one. If the dial is moving, you're losing water somewhere in
the system. |
Try these tips to locate a leak:
- The sound of running water
helps. If you hear it, follow it to its source. You can buy a
listening device that amplifies sounds when it's held up to a
pipe.
- If water is staining the ceiling
or dripping down, the leak is probably directly above.
- Occasionally, water may travel
along a joist and then stain or drip at a point some distance from
the leak.
- If water stains a wall, it means
there's a leak in a section of pipe.
- Any wall stain is likely to be
below the actual location of the leak and you'll probably need to
remove part of the wall to find it.
- Without the sound of running
water and without drips or stains as evidence, leaks are more
difficult to find. Using a flashlight, check all the pipes in the
basement or in the crawl space.
