How to tell if you have a hidden leak

A jumping water bill, the sound of running water with everything off, or a musty smell you can't place are the usual clues. You can confirm a leak yourself with a water meter test before anyone opens a wall. Our hidden water leak detection guide covers the warning signs, the meter test, 2026 detection costs, and when a suspected leak is actually a slab leak.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

Signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when nothing is on, warm spots on floors, musty or moldy smells, damp or discolored walls, and your water meter spinning when all fixtures are off.

Why is my water bill suddenly higher?

An unexplained jump in your water bill is one of the most common signs of a hidden leak. A running toilet, a leaking irrigation line or a slab leak can waste thousands of gallons a month. Turn off all fixtures and check whether your water meter keeps moving.

Is a leak covered by homeowners insurance?

It depends on your policy. Many policies cover sudden water damage but not gradual leaks or the cost of locating the leak. We document what we find, which helps if you file a claim.
