One of the leading names in high-quality, professional plumbing services, HMS Plumbing recently pointed out that homeowners themselves can be proactive in dealing with their home’s plumbing system, citing that there are easy-to-spot indications of plumbing damage that can lead to more serious problems. It is important to manage even the most apparently benign leaks, as these may be the indicator of something more serious. 

According to HMS Plumbing, fixing piping problems is of the utmost importance as such problems can lead to expensive water bills, not to mention the worsening damage water can wreak on the house’s vital structure. One common indication of a potentially more serious plumbing problem is the presence of leaks along the baseboard of walls that are close to where plumbing fixtures are located. Pipes are vulnerable to a lot of factors and freezing water can loosen fixtures and thereby cause a loss in water pressure.

Homeowners should also listen for dripping sounds, such as a faucet dripping in one fo the bathrooms. This will be easy to spot during times when activity is at the minimum, such as very early in the morning or late at night. Dripping faucets may not seem to be a big deal initially, but each of those individual drops of water can easily add up to gallons and gallons of water wastage that will be reflected in the water bill. 

Perhaps the simplest way to determine if a house has a plumbing leak somewhere is by turning off all of the faucets and any home appliance that uses up water, then the homeowner should locate the water meter, write down the number or amount displayed, wait an hour, then read the water meter again. If the number or amount has increased and all possible faucets have been turned off, then a pipe somewhere is definitely leaking.
