For home and business owners, water leaks often go unnoticed for some time. To catch a water leak as early as possible, take these proactive steps:

• Water Meter Check: This is an easy and quick check. Turn off all water sources in our home and check the water meter. It will continue to measure usage if you have a leak.
• Monitor Water Bills: Increases in your water bill without explanation can indicate a leak.
• Visual Assessment: Look for common signs of water damage like discoloration on walls or ceilings, water stains, and bubbling or peeling paint. 
• Listen for Unusual Sounds: Leaks can be caught early if you hear sounds like water dripping or running when appliances are not in use. 
• Monitor Water Pressure: An unusual decrease in water pressure can indicate a water leak.
• Dye Testing: Add a few drops of food coloring to the toilet tank. The flapper valve could have a leak if the color appears in the toilet bowl without flushing.

You can protect your property proactively by understanding where and why common leaks occur.  Omaha homeowners should be mindful of these common leak areas:  

• Roof/Attic: Damage to the roof is one of the most common causes of roof leaks. Old roofs or roofs that suffer storm damage can cause water to seep into the attic. Clogged gutters can cause this problem also.  
• Plumbing: Any plumbing fixtures can be a potential problem when it comes to indoor leaks. Frequent use of plumbing in bathrooms and kitchens makes them prone to leaky water issues.  
• Appliances: Any appliances with water lines are potential sources of leaks. Check connections and hoses on the hot water heater, dishwasher, fridge, and washing machine often to catch issues early 
• Windows and Doors: Properly sealed windows and doors aren’t often going to allow intrusive water. If these fail, water can infiltrate and cause damage.  
• Exterior Walls: Check for cracks or gaps in the exterior walls, especially near windows and doors. Heavy rains can cause leaks if there are problems with the structure of the exterior walls.  

While regular maintenance can help reduce the risk of water damage, sometimes appliances malfunction and plumbing issues occur. When these situations arise, trust your local experts at True North Restoration of Omaha-Elkhorn to help you recover from the damage safely and quickly.

Untreated leaks can pose significant risks. Indoor water damage is only one part of that. Structural impairments and fire hazards from water reaching electrical circuits are other hazards that you may not be aware of.   

In moist climates that Omaha experiences, mold growth is a health hazard that starts with water leaks. Mold can irritate allergies and other respiratory conditions. If water leaks happen for ongoing lengths of time, the structure of your property can weaken, causing a highly dangerous environment.
