Should a leak develop, the water pressure is decreased and can cause a noticeable reduction in flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sound of running water <\/strong>\u2013 if are hearing the sound of running water and you are not operating a dishwasher, washing machine or haven\u2019t recently used your bathroom, it is likely that you\u2019ve developed a leak. Water left to run can cause serious water damage, so if you hear running water for no reason, call for assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Soggy ground<\/strong> \u2013 are there areas of ground around your home that are always soggy and wet, even in dry weather? This can indicate that an underground pipe is leaking and the water is seeping into the surrounding dirt. It\u2019s important to have this repaired as this kind of leaking can affect your home\u2019s foundation if the leak is close enough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>High water bills<\/strong> \u2013 if you have noticed that your water bill has increased significantly, yet your water usage hasn\u2019t changed, it is likely a leak has developed somewhere in your plumbing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wet spots in strange places<\/strong> \u2013 are you seeing wet spots in places like ceilings or on flooring that haven\u2019t been caused by a spill? This can be an indication that a leak has developed and is seeping into your home\u2019s building materials. Water damage and mold growth can be a result of these kinds of leaks, so it\u2019s important to call for a plumber as soon as you detect an unusual wet spot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Increase in mold growth<\/strong> \u2013 mold needs moisture to grow, so if you are noticing an overwhelming smell of mold in a particular area of your home, it\u2019s worth having the area inspected for an existing leak.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The trained experts at My Drain Company can handle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydraincompany.com\/plumbing\/repair-maintenance\">any kind of plumbing repair in Glendale<\/a>, so if you have a leak, call us today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaks can be difficult to find, which is why it\u2019s important to call an expert if you suspect you have a plumbing leak in Glendale.
