Water Leaks

You may notice a couple of leaky pipes or faucets in your home and just let it be. After all, how big of a deal could it be? What you may not know is just how destructive water leaks can be to your home. What may start as a small leak could lead to extensive damage or even mold growing in your home.

Be sure you get any leaks checked out early on before the real damage is done. Edelman provides the assessment and repair services you need to keep your home in Champaign, IL and the surrounding areas safe from water leaks!

Common Types of Water Leaks

To keep your home safe from water leaks, catch leaks as early as possible. Then, give Edelman a call while the required repairs are still minor.

Toilet Leaks

Though quiet and unseen, you can spot toilet leaks early. Remove the tank’s lid, and check the level in the tank. If it is too high, you may have a leak.

Pipe Leak Under Sinks

Identifying the cause of pipe leaks can be difficult for residents. Edelman will be able to identify if the cause is a damaged drain, corrosion, or any other damage.

Burst Pipes

Burst pipes’ causes could be a leak that was left too long to cause damage, frozen pipes, and more. Water leaks from burst pipes should be immediately cared for by Edelman’s local pros to minimize damage.

Appliances

You may see water leaks from the refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or other equipment. To protect your home’s floors, walls, and cabinetry, get these leaks repaired as soon as possible.

Water Heaters

Leaks from water heaters may not just cost you money in repairs, they could be extremely dangerous. So checking your water heater for leaks or even asking for a professional inspection is essential.

Leaks Behind Drywall

When there is a leak in your plumbing, the leak may actually be behind your drywall. This can cause major destruction to your walls over time.

Signs You Have a Leak

Do you have a leak? Here are signs to look out for:

Loss of Water Pressure

Loss of water pressure is more than an inconvenience and could be a sign of a much bigger problem. If there is a leak somewhere, the water isn’t making it to your shower or sink and that means less pressure for you.

Soft Spots on Drywall or Ceiling

Leaks behind the drywall may be difficult to see for yourself, but they will usually reveal themselves through stains in your walls and ceiling. If you can’t see the stain, you may actually be able to feel a spot where the wall isn’t as strong. This means the leak from your home’s pipes is behind the drywall.

The Sound of Dripping Water

Drip, drip, drip! If this is keeping you up at night, or have you wondering if someone left a sink on, you have a leak that needs attention.

Spike in Your Water Bill

If you’re using the same amount of water, but your bill is soaring, this means water for your home is being lost somewhere. Get an inspection to save your pipes and your wallet!

Wet Spots

Wet spots on the ground or under your sink may show that there is a leak nearby. Keep a lookout for where it’s coming from, and contact us before it grows.

Foundational Cracks

Water is so destructive that it can erode the foundation holding up your home. Check around the foundation of your home for cracks and try to catch this as early as possible to prevent major repair bills!

Mold and Mildew

Sometimes you will see the mold. Other times, you’ll smell something mildewy. These are signs that water has been trapped within your home for far too long.
