Signs that deserve investigation

Unexplained water use

A change in water use may come from fixtures, irrigation or a concealed line. Note changes in routine before assuming a buried leak.

Warm or damp flooring

A persistent patch may warrant inspection, but heating, drainage or other moisture sources can create similar signs.

Running-water sounds

Explain when the sound occurs and whether fixtures are in use. A provider can decide which tests are appropriate.

A symptom is not a diagnosis

Avoid choosing a repair based solely on one sign or a photograph. A confirmed leak location and assessment of the pipe help explain whether a spot repair, replacement or reroute is appropriate. Concrete cracking can have causes unrelated to a leaking pipe.
