How Can I Tell If I Have Hidden Water Damage in My Cottage Grove Home?

4/13/2022 (Permalink)

A person uses an infrared camera to locate hidden water damage. We use advanced technology to detect hidden water damage and leaks in Lane County.

If your water bill seems unusually high, it may be an indication of a hidden water leak and water damage. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that small water leaks account for more than one trillion gallons of water wasted in United States homes each year! Our local teams in Springfield and East Lane County use advanced technology and techniques to locate the source of hidden water leaks in Cottage Grove.

The EPA offers this helpful leak detection information:

  • A good method to check for leaks is to examine your winter water use. It’s likely that a family of four has a serious leak problem if its winter water use exceeds 12,000 gallons per month.
  • Check your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, you probably have a leak.
  • To check for a toilet bowl leak, place a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank. You have a leak if the color shows up in the bowl within ten minutes without flushing.
