The majority of leaks happen at or near plumbing fixtures such as tubs, sinks, toilets, and pipes. Some fixture leaks can easily be seen from the fixture it self. Other types of leaks, however, can be hidden behind walls and flooring which makes it difficult to detect. Here are some of the simple ways to check for hidden water leaks.

The Test:

• Turn off all your faucets.
• Check to see if you have drippy faucets, or if the toilet flushes.

The Check:

• Close shut off valves
• Check position of 1-cubic-foot dial
• Check the dial in 2 hours, if it moved, you have a leak in the water supply

These are the fairly simple ways to check for hidden leaks in your water supply. If there is a leak that can’t be found, contact the professionals at All Good Plumbers for assistance.
