Because the nature of a leaking pipe is that it is leaking running water, it can waste excess water, causing your monthly utility bills to increase. If you have noticed a random increase on your monthly water bill, in conjunction with any of the following signs, this is a major indicator that you are in need of help from Essig.
Have you noticed visible signs of mold around your home? When a pipe is leaking, the excess water will often encourage mold and mildew growth around areas such as your shower, tub, baseboards, walls, ceiling, or floors. If you have noticed excess water and/or mold and mildew in any of these areas, call Essig as soon as possible for help with leak detection services. Mold can be toxic to your health and a leaking pipe will only encourage its growth.
Musty and moldy odors will often permeate when mold and mildew is present. Because leaking pipes are rooted in excess water, mold and mildew are almost inevitable.

If you are smelling mold around your home and suspect you may have a leak in your pipes, enlist Essig for professional leak detection services.
