6 Signs You Might Have a Plumbing Leak

Locating and taking care of leaks are the most common calls we take for plumbing services. Repairing a leak ASAP can help you avoid pricey water damage. Some leaks can be more difficult to spot than others, but there are several telltale signs that you need to get in touch with a plumber in Elkhart. Here are the top six:

Your pipes often make thumping sounds.
There are reddish stains in your sink, or your water looks rusty.

How to Figure Out if You Have a Leak

If you believe you have a leak but can’t locate the signs, check your water meter:

Ensure no water is being used inside or outside your home.
Look at the leak indicator on your water meter. The indicator is typically a triangular dial or small silver wheel. If the dial is spinning, you probably have a leak.

We can identify the source of the leak and get it repaired before you spend more money or by chance damage your home.
