Common Signs of Plumbing Leaks

Signs of a Water Heater Leak
It's essential for homeowners to periodically check the area around their water heater for leaks. If a dripping water heater isn't repaired, it can cause structural and property damage, mold growth, fire hazards, and even the risk of a carbon monoxide leak if the appliance is a gas unit. Some common signs your home’s water heater is leaking include:
- Water around the base of the tank or walls.
- The flooring around your water heater is uneven or raised.
- You can hear dripping water, hissing, or other unusual sounds coming from the appliance.
- Your hot water runs out quicker than usual.
Signs of a Washing Machine Leak
Your washing machine might be in your basement, tucked away in a laundry closet, or in other areas of your home that are not fully accessible. Occasionally check the area around your washing machine to ensure it's not leaking. The most common signs of a leaking washing machine include the following:
- The room your laundry appliances are in is smelly, moldy, or musty.
- Pools of water are forming around or near the washing machine.
- The washing machine hose connections are loose or damaged.
- There is rust on the outside of the hose connections.
- The washing machine hoses are visibly cracked or bulging.
