4 Signs You Have a Hidden Plumbing Leak
Hidden plumbing leaks can be challenging but not impossible to find if you know what to look for. Here are the most common signs of a hidden plumbing leak:
- Mildewy/moldy smell: It’s not normal for an area of your house to smell musty or mildewy. Over time, hidden ones, however small, cause mold to grow when left untreated. Prompt attention is needed.
- Wet wall or water puddles near wall: Depending on its location, a leaky pipe behind a wall can cause puddling on the floor or make the wall wet.
- Discoloration of ceiling or wall: Plumbing leaks can cause brown discoloration or staining on ceilings and walls.
- Running toilet: Whether you hear a running toilet or not, you can detect a toilet leak by putting food coloring in your tank and letting it sit for 10 minutes. If the toilet bowl water becomes colored, you have a leak. Be sure to flush to avoid staining your bowl.

FAQs
When are plumbing leaks most common in New York?
Plumbing leaks occur throughout the year in New York. However, Vestal winters put uninsulated pipes or pipes located along exterior walls at risk for freezing and bursting.
What should homeowners do to prevent pipe leaks?
In the winter, you can add insulation to uninsulated pipes and pipes running close to exterior walls. You can also leave doors or cabinets open to pipes in danger of freezing so they can be warmed by household air. Keeping your faucet on a drip helps prevent pressure buildup in pipes, lowering the risk of bursting pipes. (This option is a short-term solution because keeping taps running over time is costly and wasteful.) In general, you can stay on top of leaks by becoming familiar with your seasonal water usage so you will know immediately when an unexplained spike in your bill occurs.
Why do I hear dripping sounds from my kitchen pipes long after I used the sink?
A dripping noise after you’ve used the sink can be caused by leftover water in the pipes that drips until the water is gone. Dripping sounds can also be caused by temperature fluctuations in your pipes, slow drainage (due to a clog), or pipe cracks. Arctic Bear can help you quickly detect the cause and solve the problemÂ
