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

Finding a leak in a wall or ceiling starts with simple checks you can do, then professional detection if needed. Look for stains, bubbling paint, warped trim, and musty odors. Listen for hissing. Turn off all fixtures and see if the water meter still moves. Shut water to one fixture at a time to isolate. Add food coloring to toilet tanks to test for seepage. If you still can’t find it, our licensed plumbers use modern, non-invasive line detection. Annual inspections help prevent surprises in Brownsburg and Zionsville.
