How to Tell if You Have a Water Leak
Sellers Answers
"Gee Honey, This Floor Feels Hot"!
If you discover a "hot spot"on your otherwise cold slab floor, you are most definitely looking at a hot water line that has broken. You'll need to call your insurance company. They will in turn contact a leak detection company to repair the damage. You will most probably have to contact a flooring company to repair the damage the leak detection company creates...a leak repair is always a big mess.
Other indications that you might have a leak are water bills that are historically or hysterically way too high. You may also discover a leak in a more traditional way such as gushing water where it shouldn't be...that's a dead giveaway. Sewer lines provide a really nasty kind of leak. This can be easily determined by you plumber or rotor rooter guy. If they send the auger into the line and it comes back with mud on the end, it is a sure sign that dirt is coming into the line and sewage is seeping out.
