Detect Hidden Plumbing Leaks and Failures

Cost Savings

Checklist Tasks

• Check under sinks and behind toilets for moisture to catch slow leaks early.
• Inspect exposed pipes for corrosion or buildup to spot aging infrastructure before failure.
• Test water pressure at several faucets to reveal blockages or failing regulators.
• Examine shut-off valves for leaks or stiffness to ensure emergency readiness.
• Scan walls and ceilings near pipes for stains or bubbling paint to find hidden leaks.
• Flush toilets and time tank refills to detect faulty fill valves or silent leaks.
• Remove and inspect faucet aerators for sediment to identify scaling or flow issues.
• Check washing machine hoses for bulges or cracks to prevent sudden flooding.
• Inspect water heater base for rust or pooling to catch failure before major leaks.
• Test sump pump by adding water to confirm automatic activation and prevent flooding.
• Listen for ticking or dripping behind walls to detect slow, concealed leaks early.
• Document and label all valve locations for fast shut-off in future emergencies.
