Signs of a hidden leak
- A water bill that rises without a change in use
- The water meter's low-flow indicator moving while every fixture is off
- A warm or damp spot on a slab floor, or cracked and lifting tile
- The sound of running water inside a wall or under the floor
- Mold, musty odors, or stains on drywall and baseboards
- Low water pressure on one line
- A soggy patch in the yard between the meter and the house
Why California homes leak where they do
California's housing boom after World War II produced hundreds of thousands of slab-on-grade tract homes across Los Angeles County, Orange County, the Inland Empire and the Bay Area. In many of them, copper water lines run beneath the concrete. After decades of service, copper can develop pinhole leaks from internal wear, water chemistry or abrasion against the slab. Hot water lines often fail first, which is why a warm patch on the floor is a classic clue.
