  1. When a frozen pipe bursts or a drain backs up, you know something’s wrong right away. You quickly identify the source and take care of repairs. When a slow leak starts in your home’s walls without attracting attention, it does leave solid clues: water leaking from behind your walls can cause mold to grow, damage framing materials and increase your heating and cooling costs. Here are some telltale signs of water leakage behind drywall:

  2. Musty Odors If there is excess water or moisture in your walls, the smell of mold may start to appear. This can happen if water is allowed to leak into building materials like sheetrock, wood or drywall. If you notice a strong musty smell near a certain area of your wall, there could be a water leak or mold growth behind it.

  3. MOLD IN UNUSUAL AREAS Mold grows in wet areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms. If you spot mold on walls or baseboards in other rooms of the house, it’s a good indicator of undetected water leaks. Any patches larger than a few square feet should be taken care of by a restoration company that provides certified mold removal services.

  4. Visible Stains Water from a leak within the walls will get absorbed in the drywall and sheetrock which will cause a noticeable stain. If the stains on your wall continue to get bigger, this is usually a good indication that there is a hidden plumbing leak.

  5. WET FLOORS A dark area next to a wall may be caused by a leak in the plumbing. If you notice wet spots on your carpeting, touch the fibers; if they are damp, you probably have a wall leak. Warm floors that feel hot underfoot often indicate pipes that are leaking inside walls.

  6. PEELING OR BUBBLING WALLPAPER / PAINT When you see wallpaper separating along seams or paint bubbling or flaking off the wall, blame sheetrock that stays wet because of an undetected leak.

  7. Warping Walls When sheetrock absorbs too much water, it will begin to warp and curve. Warping can lead to structural damage that is very expensive to repair. If there is warping on your walls, this is a clear indication of a water leak.

  8. Testing for Hidden Water Leaks A hidden water leak can be difficult to determine from visible signs alone. However, if you find some of the signs of a hidden leak in your home and want to know for sure, follow these tips to test for a hidden water leak by using your water meter. • Turn off all faucets in your home as well as appliances that use water. • Check the water meter and record the usage number. • Leave the water off for approximately 3 hours inside and outside the home. • Look at the water meter again to see the usage numbers. • If the water usage has gone up, then there is a hidden water leak.
