A water bill that climbs with no change in usage, a musty smell, a soft or discolored patch on a wall or ceiling, or a meter still spinning when every fixture is off are the usual signs of a hidden leak. The cause is often a pinhole leak in aging copper, a joint that's worked loose, or a slab leak where a supply line under the foundation has corroded.

If you can see or hear active water where you shouldn't, shut off the main water supply valve until someone can look at it, and avoid cutting into drywall or flooring yourself, since it can make finding the source harder. A sagging ceiling, an outlet near moisture, or water pooling on a slab floor mean it's time to stop and call rather than wait for it to dry out.

Leak Detection & Repair FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Leak Detection & Repair

Questions we hear most often about Leak Detection & Repair in Custer, SD.

Talk to a real person
Why is water dripping from the pipe on top of my water heater?
That pipe usually runs from the pressure relief valve, and a steady drip often means the valve is doing its job by releasing pressure that has nowhere else to go. A common cause is a failed expansion tank that no longer absorbs the extra pressure created when water heats up. Shut the cold supply valve on top of the tank if the dripping is heavy or the tank feels excessively hot. Do not ignore it, since pressure with nowhere to escape can be dangerous. Call (844) 898-0295 and describe what you are seeing in Custer, SD.
What are the warning signs my septic tank needs service?
Watch for slow drains throughout the house, gurgling toilets, a sewage smell near the tank or drain field, or soggy, unusually green patches of grass in the yard. These signs often mean the tank is full or the drain field is struggling to absorb water. Flushing less and running fewer loads of laundry can buy a little time, but it will not fix the underlying cause. In Custer, SD, septic systems on clay-heavy soil can back up faster than expected. Call (844) 898-0295 and describe what you are noticing to get connected with an independent local plumber who handles septic service.
Do I really need my backflow preventer tested every year?
Many municipalities require an annual backflow test to confirm the device is still stopping contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply, and skipping it can bring a notice from the water utility. The test itself is quick, but it should be done by someone familiar with local backflow codes, since requirements vary by city. If you received a notice from your water provider or are not sure whether your property even has a backflow preventer, do not guess. Call (844) 898-0295 and mention the notice to get connected with an independent local plumber who handles backflow testing in Custer, SD.
How do I know if my sump pump is about to fail?
Listen for a pump that runs constantly, cycles on and off rapidly, or makes a grinding or humming noise without moving water. A pump that stays silent during heavy rain, or a pit that stays full instead of draining down, are also warning signs. Age matters too, since most pumps wear out after some years of regular use. Do not wait for a flooded basement to deal with it. If you are noticing any of these signs, or need a new sump pump installed, call (844) 898-0295 and describe the situation.
My water bill jumped and I can't find a leak. What should I do?
Start by shutting off every fixture in the house, then check the water meter. If the dial is still moving, water is escaping somewhere, possibly underground, inside a wall, or under a slab, even if no puddle is visible. A running toilet or a small slab leak can waste a surprising amount of water without any obvious sign. Do not just wait for the next bill to see if it drops. Call (844) 898-0295 and describe what your meter is doing to get connected with an independent local plumber who handles leak detection in Custer, SD.
