Surprise water bill? Musty smell in the hallway? You might have a hidden water leak—and trust us, those can get ugly fast.
At Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning, we got a call from a local homeowner who noticed his water bill creeping up month after month. No visible leaks, no dripping faucets. Just a slow, silent problem working its way through the walls.
Why Hidden Leaks Are a Big Deal
A small, steady leak might not seem like an emergency—until it is. Leaks behind walls, under floors, or beneath slabs can lead to serious structural damage, not to mention mold, ruined drywall, and warped flooring.
Here in Austin, we see this all the time. A shower valve leaks behind tile, a pipe bursts under the slab, or water seeps into a wall cavity for weeks before anyone catches it. By the time you notice the signs, you could be looking at expensive repairs—plumbing, drywall, flooring, and beyond.
Spot the Signs Early
Don’t wait for your home to wave the white flag. Here are a few red flags that you might have a hidden water leak:
- Peeling wallpaper or bubbling paint
- Water stains or ceiling discoloration
- Musty smells or visible mold
- Floors that feel soft or warped
- A sudden spike in your water bill
