Common Signs You Have a Hidden Water Leak

Water leaks are not always as obvious as a dripping faucet. Often, the most damaging leaks are the ones you cannot see, hiding behind walls or under floors. Being aware of the subtle warning signs can help you identify a problem early and prevent more extensive damage to your property.

• Sudden Increase in Water Bills: If your water usage habits have not changed but your bill has spiked, a hidden leak is a likely cause.
• Musty or Earthy Odors: A persistent damp or musty smell, especially in areas with no visible water, often indicates hidden moisture and potential mold growth.
• Visible Stains or Discoloration: Unexplained wet spots or stains appearing on ceilings, walls, or floors are a clear sign that water is accumulating somewhere behind the surface.
• Warped or Damaged Surfaces: Wood floors that are buckling, paint or wallpaper that is peeling, or drywall that feels soft to the touch are all symptoms of underlying moisture.
• Sound of Running Water: If you can hear water running when no faucets or appliances are in use, it is a strong indication of a leak in your plumbing system.

Noticing any of these signs is a good reason to investigate further. A professional leak detection service can confirm the issue and pinpoint its exact location.

How Our Infrared Leak Detection Process Works

At ECOS, we use proven technology to provide you with fast and accurate answers. Our infrared leak detection process is a non-invasive method that allows us to see what the naked eye cannot, identifying temperature differences caused by moisture without any damage to your property. Our certified technicians follow a precise, structured process.

• Initial Assessment: We start by discussing the issues you have noticed and visually inspecting the problem areas of your property.
• Thermal Imaging Scan: Our technician will use a specialized infrared camera to scan the walls, ceilings, and floors. This camera detects temperature variations on the surface, as areas with moisture are typically cooler than dry areas due to evaporation.
• Pinpointing the Source: The thermal images create a "moisture map," highlighting the cooler spots that indicate the likely path and source of the leak. This allows us to trace the water back to its origin.
• Confirmation and Reporting: We may use a moisture meter to confirm the presence of water in the areas identified by the infrared scan. Afterward, we provide you with a full report of our findings and recommend the best course of action.

This technology allows our IICRC-certified team to locate leaks with remarkable precision, saving you time, money, and the stress of unnecessary demolition.

The Importance of Professional Leak Detection

Using advanced technology like an infrared camera is only half the battle. Interpreting the thermal images correctly requires extensive training and experience. A professional technician can distinguish between a water leak and other thermal anomalies, such as missing insulation or a plumbing pipe, ensuring an accurate diagnosis.

Attempting to find a leak on your own often leads to a frustrating and destructive process of trial and error. Professionals use non-invasive methods to pinpoint the exact location of the problem, preventing unnecessary damage to your walls, floors, and ceilings. This targeted approach saves you from costly repairs.

Once a leak is found, immediate action is needed. A professional restoration company not only finds the leak but can also provide a plan for the next steps, including water extraction and structural drying. This ensures a seamless transition from detection to repair, minimizing further damage.
