How Can I Find a Water Leak Inside a Wall or Ceiling?

Turn off all fixtures and use your water meter and a handheld moisture meter to confirm a hidden leak in a wall or ceiling. If the meter dial moves with water off, you likely have a leak. Scan the damp area with a moisture meter to pinpoint the wettest spot. Look for stains, bubbling paint, or musty odors. Check plumbing above or nearby: toilets (use a tank dye test), faucets, and appliance connections. We provide 24/7 leak detection and repairs in Glendale Heights and surrounding areas.
