How Can I Find a Water Leak Inside a Wall or Ceiling?

Look for stains, bubbling paint, warped drywall, or musty odors; these often mean a hidden leak. Turn off all water, then check the meter; movement indicates a leak. We locate and repair leaks in Roanoke and Cave Spring.

  • Isolate: shut off toilets, icemaker, and irrigation zones one by one.
  • Feel/trace: run a tissue along pipes and fittings for moisture.
  • Listen: hissing or dripping behind walls or ceilings.
  • Document: photos and the meter reading for the technician.
