But here in Fairfax, Arlington or Northern Virginia area, plumbing is not just an all-or-nothing thing. Much like your body gives you small indications you\u2019re getting sick, your pipes give off warning signs that all is not well!\u00a0 Here are five signs that you may have a plumbing leak happening in your home!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Running water sounds<\/strong>. If you hear the sound of water even when no one in your home is doing the dishes or taking a shower, you may have pipes that are beginning to leak. You don\u2019t just hear running water for no reason. If you hear it, it\u2019s happening somewhere and need to be identified and stopped.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unusually high water bills<\/strong>. Don\u2019t just assume someone\u2019s been taking long showers again. Water bills shouldn\u2019t vary much from month to month. If you\u2019re starting to see spikes, it may be due to a leak. Compare your water bills from the same month last year to see if it\u2019s jumped.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wet spots or mold<\/strong>. Keep an eye out for wet or moist spots, or discolored, moldy areas in your flooring. If nothing has been spilled, these spots may be caused by leaking pipes. Take notice if the spots occur on the floor near sinks, tubs or other large pipelines.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Musty smells<\/strong>. Leaking pipes cause damp spots, and damp spots cause mold. And mold smells. If you\u2019ve got a musty smell around your home despite frequent cleaning, you may have leaking pipes. Try to sniff out the source of the odor and see where it&#8217;s the strongest. That can help you narrow down the source, or help you point your plumber in the right direction. Additionally, if your shower is growing mold at a fast rate, you&#8217;ve likely got a leaky shower-head.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Foundation cracks<\/strong>. It\u2019s normal for houses to settle over the years, but if you\u2019re suddenly starting to notice cracks in your foundation it may be due to a leak. Water leached from leaking pipes can weaken foundations and structural components of your home, causing foundations or walls to crack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If any of these symptoms sound familiar, you may have a leak in training. Don\u2019t wait for the flood \u2013 call. F.H.
