Leaks and Pipe Repair in Palm Beach, FL
Some leaks make themselves known right away. Others hide inside a wall or under a slab and show up only as a stain, a smell or a bigger bill. Either way, it is smart to deal with water early.
How Do I Know I Might Have a Leak?
- A damp spot or stain on a wall, ceiling or floor
- A musty smell that will not go away
- A water bill that went up and you cannot say why
- The sound of running water when everything is off
- Pressure that has dropped at the faucets
- A pipe that drips or sweats under a sink
A Little Test You Can Do
Turn off all the water in the house. Then look at your water meter, if you have one. If the dial keeps moving, water is going somewhere. Tell the plumber what you saw.
Where Is My Main Shutoff Valve?
It depends on the house. It is often near where the water line comes in, like a basement, a garage, a utility closet or by the meter outside. Many are a round wheel and some are a lever. A wheel usually closes when you turn it clockwise. Find yours now, before you need it, and show everyone at home.
What Do I Do While I Wait?
Shut off the water if it is spreading. Move rugs and furniture out of the way and put a bucket or towels under the drip. If water is near electrical outlets or the panel, stay clear, leave the area and call 911 if you are worried about your safety.
