Higher Water Bills
An unexplained increase in water use can be a reason to investigate whether water is escaping somewhere in the plumbing system.
See water where it should not be, hear water running when everything is turned off, or notice an unexplained increase in your water bill? A plumbing leak may be trying to tell you something.
Chandler Plumbing helps homeowners identify the likely source of plumbing leaks and determine the right repair before a small problem has more time to cause damage.
You do not always need to see water pouring from a pipe to have a plumbing leak. Slow or hidden leaks may reveal themselves through changes elsewhere in the home.
An unexplained increase in water use can be a reason to investigate whether water is escaping somewhere in the plumbing system.
Discoloration, damp drywall, moisture near cabinets, or wet areas that keep returning may point to a nearby plumbing leak.
Hearing dripping or running water when fixtures and appliances are not being used may deserve a closer look.
A noticeable change in water pressure can have several causes, including plumbing problems that should be evaluated.
Moisture around toilets, sinks, faucets, supply lines, or appliances may indicate a connection or component is leaking.
Water appearing near a wall, floor, cabinet, or ceiling without an obvious source can be a sign that the actual leak is hidden from view.
The water you see is not always directly beside the plumbing component that failed. Water can travel along cabinets, walls, floors, and other surfaces before it becomes visible.
That is why finding the source matters before deciding what needs to be repaired.
Faucets, shutoff valves, supply connections, drains, and fittings can all develop leaks.
Supply lines, valves, tank components, and seals can allow water to escape or run continuously.
Water may appear around the tank, valves, connections, or nearby piping.
Concealed plumbing can sometimes make the visible symptom appear away from the actual source.
Water connections serving dishwashers, refrigerators, and washing machines can leak.
Supply piping and plumbing connections can develop problems that require professional evaluation.
A leak does not have to look dramatic to deserve attention. Water continuing to escape into areas where it does not belong can create additional problems over time.
Even a smaller leak can continue using water until the source is identified and corrected.
Water can affect cabinets, drywall, flooring, ceilings, and other materials around the leak.
Plumbing problems can change over time. Addressing the source earlier may prevent continued leaking and additional damage.
When the leak is concealed, water may continue moving into surrounding areas before the source becomes obvious.
What you do next depends on how much water is escaping and whether you can safely identify where it is coming from.
If it is safe, identify whether the water appears to be coming from a sink, toilet, appliance, water heater, supply connection, or another fixture.
Shut off the affected fixture or appliance when possible. For a major uncontrolled leak, the home's main water supply may need to be shut off.
Move belongings away from the water when it can be done safely and be cautious around electrical equipment or wet surfaces.
Tell us where you see the water, when you first noticed it, and whether the leak is still actively running.
Every leak is different. A connection beneath a sink is not the same problem as water appearing through a wall or around a water heater.
We start with the symptoms you are seeing, evaluate the plumbing involved, and work toward identifying the source before discussing the repair options.
Start with where the water appears, when it occurs, and which plumbing components may be involved.
Narrow down the likely source rather than assuming the visible water is exactly where the leak began.
Explain the problem and determine the appropriate plumbing repair for the situation.

Whether you have a visible leak beneath a fixture or moisture with no obvious source, the first step is understanding what is happening and what plumbing repair may be needed.
Possible warning signs include unexplained water usage, damp or discolored areas, recurring moisture, or the sound of water when plumbing fixtures are not being used. These symptoms can have multiple causes, so the source should be evaluated.
It can be. If water is actively spreading, a pipe has burst, or you cannot get the flow of water under control, prompt action is important. Chandler Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency plumbing service.
If the leak is active and you can safely shut off the affected fixture or appliance, doing so may help limit additional water. A major uncontrolled leak may require shutting off the home's main water supply.
Water usage can increase for many reasons, but an unexplained increase can be one reason to check for continuously running fixtures or plumbing leaks.
Yes. Water can travel along building materials and surfaces before becoming visible, which is why the place where you see moisture may not be the exact location where the plumbing problem began.
