Non-Invasive Leak Detection for Jefferson County Property Owners

A hidden leak often manifests itself through small but noticeable changes in your home. Rather than waiting for water damage to become obvious, keep an eye out for unusual signs.

Common signs of a hidden leak include:

• Sudden spikes in your water bill without extra usage
• Musty odors or damp spots on walls, ceilings, or floors
• Warped flooring, peeling paint, or bubbling wallpaper
• Mold or mildew growth in unexpected places
• The sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off

Why this matters: If you notice one or more of these issues, contact Allstate Leak Detection today. Catching hidden leaks early not only prevents costly water damage but also helps lower utility bills and protect the long-term health of your home.

Yes, hidden leaks in crawl spaces and attics are fairly common in Jefferson County due to the area’s mix of historic homes and newer construction. Older houses in Birmingham, Ensley, and Bessemer often have aging pipes that can develop slow leaks in tight crawl spaces.

In contrast, newer homes in places like Hoover and Trussville sometimes experience attic leaks caused by faulty connections, condensation, or roofline issues. The challenge with these hidden leaks is that they often go unnoticed until they cause mold, musty odors, or structural damage.

Our team detects these hard-to-find problems quickly using advanced technology and years of specialized experience. By addressing hidden leaks early, homeowners can prevent costly repairs and protect the long-term health of their property.

Yes, your water meter can help confirm if you have a hidden leak. It’s a simple test that doesn’t require any special tools.

Here’s how to check:

• Turn off all faucets and water-using appliances inside and outside your home.
• Locate your water meter and note the reading.
• Wait at least 30 minutes (longer if possible) without using any water.
• Check the meter again; if the numbers have changed, water is moving somewhere in your system, which usually means a leak.

Why this matters: This quick test is an easy first step before calling in a professional. If the meter shows water flow when everything is off, it’s time to get a leak detection specialist involved.
