Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
Some leaks are obvious, but many stay hidden until the damage is done. Common signs to watch for include damp spots on walls or ceilings, musty odours, mould growth, soggy patches in your garden, or water pooling around taps and toilets. A sudden spike in your water bill is another red flag.
You can also do a quick at-home test, turn off all taps and appliances, then check your water meter. If the dials are still moving after an hour, chances are you have a leak. If that’s the case, it’s time to call the Curran team to find and fix the issue before it becomes a bigger problem.
