Signs You Have a Leaking Toilet or Faucet

Signs You Have a Water Heater Leak
We’ve listed several signs you might have a leak in your water heater:
- Excess moisture or small puddles near your tank
- Uneven flooring or raised floor tiles near your water heater’s base
- Dripping water and other noises or unusual sounds coming from your water heater
- A restricted supply or lack of hot water
Signs You Have a Washing Machine Leak
A leaking washing machine hose may give off one or more of the following indications:
- A moldy or musty odor in your laundry room
- Small pools of water forming near or behind your washing machine
- Loose or rusted hose connections
- Bulging or cracked hoses
Signs of Other Leaks Around Your House
Aside from major appliances, several other areas around your home can have leaks, such as the following:
- Natural Gas Line Leak – The natural gas heating the water inside your boiler can be incredibly dangerous. The most common gas leak is carbon monoxide gas. Natural gas is very flammable and lethal if exposed in large quantities. If you notice a rotten egg smell, this is a common indicator you have of a natural gas leak. If your home has a natural gas line, it’s imperative to keep your carbon monoxide monitors fully charged and near any appliance using natural gas.
- Broken Water Lines – A broken water line can cause substantial damage to flooring, drywall, and other materials around your residential property. Your water bill can also have a sudden rise because of this problem. You find water lines under your home or in your walls, so leaks frequently go unnoticed until homeowners experience indicators of property damage. Scheduling regular plumbing maintenance by a licensed and seasoned service professional is your best way to avoid having a broken water line.
