How to Check for Water Leaks in Marlton NJ

Did you know that you can lose anywhere between 3,000 to 20,000 gallons of water in just one year? Not only are plumbing leaks incredibly wasteful, but they can also cause a wide variety of problems including mold and structural damage. Find out how to check for water leaks in Marlton NJ and save both money and water at the same time!

Leaks Inside Your Home

A leaky faucet may be reasonably easy to spot and repair, but other types of indoor leaks can keep you guessing for months.

Toilet leaks, although quite common, can be hard to find, which is why testing is critical. Finding a leak in your toilet can be as simple as adding a bit of food coloring in the tank and waiting about 10 or 15 minutes before checking to see if the color leaks through into the bowl.

Shower doors can also be the source of leakage. To check, get inside your shower and close the doors. Turn the shower on and direct the flow to splash around frame, then check outside to see if your floor is wet. If it is, then your shower doors are in need of repair or replacement. Ignoring this issue could result in rotting wood and damaged floors.

Sinks can show signs of leaking in a variety ways, and there are several places you should check:

  • Cabinets and countertops for damage
  • Stains or puddle around the cabinet
  • Loose faucet base

Water Supply Line Leaks

Leaks that can be especially difficult to detect are often found between your home and the meter in your water supply line. One clue you may have an issue is if you find the meter box contains water even though it hasn’t been raining or the box isn’t targeted by run-off.
