A Guide to Identifying Hidden Leaks in Gallup, NM


A hidden water leak can be a silent destroyer of your Gallup, NM home. Here are some key signs that the experts at JLK Plumbing recommend you watch for.

  • An Unexplained High Water Bill: This is often the first and most obvious sign of a hidden leak. If your water usage habits haven't changed but your bill has spiked, a leak is a likely culprit.
  • Your Water Meter is Always Running: A simple way to check for a leak is to use your water meter. Turn off all water-using appliances in your home, then look at the meter. If the dial or leak indicator is still moving, you have a leak somewhere in your system.
  • The Sound of Running Water: If you can hear water running when no faucets, toilets, or appliances are on, it's a clear sign of a leak within your walls or under your slab.
  • Warm Spots on the Floor: If you have a concrete slab foundation, a warm spot on the floor can indicate a hidden hot water line leak underneath.
  • Visible Signs of Damage: Look for unexplained water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint, warped flooring, or the presence of musty odors and mold growth. These are all signs of a persistent moisture problem in your Gallup, NM home.
  • Reduced Water Pressure: A significant leak in your main supply line can sometimes cause a noticeable drop in water pressure throughout your home.If you notice any of these signs, don't wait. A hidden leak will only get worse. The professional leak detection service from JLK Plumbing in Gallup, NM uses advanced technology to find the exact source of the problem, allowing for a targeted and efficient repair.
