“A dripping faucet might seem harmless, but hidden leaks can cause thousands in damage. At L&J Projects, we’ve rescued countless Smyrna homes from plumbing disasters. Here’s how to spot red flags before it’s too late.”
5 Critical Warning Signs
- Unexplained Spike in Water Bills
A sudden increase often points to hidden leaks. We once found a cracked pipe behind a client’s wall that had been leaking for weeks! - Low Water Pressure
Mineral buildup or pipe corrosion could be restricting flow. Ignoring this may lead to total blockages. - Discolored Water
Rusty or brown water signals corroded pipes. Immediate action prevents contamination. - Damp Spots on Walls/Flooring
Moisture stains often mean leaks inside walls. Left unchecked, mold becomes a health hazard. - Gurgling Sounds in Drains
This indicates blockages or venting issues. A Smyrna family avoided sewage backup by calling us after hearing these noises.
