Save your home—and your wallet—from silent water damage
Some of the most expensive plumbing problems don’t start with a burst pipe or a flooded floor. They start small—inside walls, under floors, or behind cabinets—where hidden leaks quietly cause mold, structural damage, and sky-high water bills.
At Speedy Sandy Plumbing, we’ve seen firsthand how a small drip can turn into thousands of dollars in repairs. Here’s how to spot the warning signs early and what to do if you suspect a hidden leak in your Sandy, UT home.
🚨 1. Unexplained Increase in Water Bills
If your monthly water bill has spiked but your usage hasn’t changed, a hidden leak is often to blame. These leaks can waste hundreds of gallons per month before they’re discovered.
🧱 2. Mold, Mildew, or Musty Smells
Moisture from hidden leaks creates the perfect environment for mold. If you notice musty odors or see mold growing on walls, ceilings, or flooring, it’s time to get professional leak detection and restoration.
🪟 3. Warped Floors, Stains, or Peeling Paint
Leaks hidden behind walls or beneath floors can cause paint to bubble, baseboards to swell, or hardwood to warp. Don’t ignore these visual clues—they usually mean water has already started doing damage.
🔊 4. Sounds of Dripping or Running Water
Can you hear water even when no faucets or appliances are on? You may be hearing the sound of a pipe leak inside the wall. Trust your ears and don’t wait to investigate.
🧰 5. What to Do If You Suspect a Leak
Hidden leaks require more than a quick fix—they need professional detection tools and experienced hands. Our local plumbers in Sandy use advanced moisture meters and infrared imaging to pinpoint the source of a leak without tearing apart your home.
We’ll not only find the leak, but we’ll also repair the damage and help you avoid future issues through maintenance or fixture upgrades. (Consider faucet and fixture upgrades to prevent future leaks caused by worn-out hardware.)
