Leaking pipes can sometimes be difficult to detect, but there are a few common signs to look for. You might notice water stains on walls or ceilings, unexplained damp patches, or a musty smell caused by moisture buildup. A sudden increase in your water bill without any changes in usage is another strong indicator of a leak. If the leak is outside, you may see pooling water in your yard or unusually lush grass in one specific area.

To confirm, turn off all water fixtures in your home and check your water meter. If the meter continues to move, you likely have a leak. Addressing leaks promptly is crucial to prevent water damage, mold growth and wasted water. Contacting a professional plumber to locate and fix the problem is often the best course of action.

Blocked drains are usually caused by a buildup of debris or foreign objects that restrict water flow. Common culprits include hair, grease, soap scum, food particles, wet wipes, and sanitary products. Tree roots can also invade underground pipes, causing persistent blockages.

To prevent blockages, avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain and use a drain strainer to catch hair and food particles. Regularly cleaning your drains with hot water or a mild, non-corrosive drain cleaner can help remove minor buildups. Be mindful of what you flush—only human waste and toilet paper should go into the toilet. If you experience frequent blockages, a professional plumber can assess the condition of your pipes and recommend long-term solutions, such as high-pressure water jetting or pipe relining.
