Our Charleston leak detection experts use advanced tools to locate slab, wall, and plumbing leaks quickly and accurately. Schedule your water leak inspection today.
Hidden water leaks can be one of the most frustrating problems a homeowner faces. In Charleston, leaks can be common because of our older plumbing systems, high humidity, and sandy soil. A small drip behind a wall or a slab leak under your home can create serious damage before you even know it’s there. At Wadford Water Works, our job is to find those hidden leaks quickly and accurately. We use proven detection methods that let us locate the problem. Once we know what’s going on, we’ll walk you through the results and explain the best options to fix it. Contact us for an inspection today!
Leaks can show up in different places around your home, and some are easier to spot than others. These are the most common types we see in Charleston:
Slab leaks
Pipe leaks behind walls
Yard or outdoor leaks
Fixture leaks
Well and pump leaks
Many water leaks start small and stay hidden until they’ve already caused damage. Here are some of the most common warning signs Charleston homeowners should watch for:
Unexplained increase in your water bill – A steady rise in costs without any change in water use often points to a hidden leak.
Water stains or damp spots – Discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors can mean water is seeping in behind the surface.
Musty odors – Persistent smells of mildew or dampness are usually a sign of water trapped where it shouldn’t be.
Low water pressure – If faucets and showers lose pressure, a leak in the system could be reducing the flow.
Sounds of running water – Hearing water when nothing is turned on often means a pipe is leaking inside the home.
Warm or damp flooring – A slab leak beneath your foundation can create warm spots or damp areas underfoot.
If you’ve noticed one or more of these signs, don’t put it off! Contact us for an inspection today.
