Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

To find a water leak inside a wall or ceiling, start with a water‑meter test and look for fresh moisture marks. Pressurized supply leaks are most common; they keep the meter moving even when all fixtures are off. Ceiling stains that worsen after showers often point to a drain or roof issue instead of a supply line. A small pinhole can mist and travel along studs, so the wet spot may be feet from the source. Our team in the Greer area often confirms hidden leaks with camera inspection to avoid unnecessary opening of walls. - Do the meter test: shut off all water-using appliances, record the meter, avoid water for 3–5 hours, then recheck; an increase means a leak. - Check for new stains, bubbling paint, musty odor, or warped trim. - Listen for hissing in quiet hours and feel for warm spots on drywall. - If the meter moves, call a pro for camera tracing or targeted access. If water is near lights or outlets, switch off that circuit and call a licensed plumber.

You might stop a joint leak without replacing the line, but DIY fixes are usually temporary. Ken’s Plumbing detects and repairs leaks, often without full line replacement, with trenchless options. Meter test: - "Shut off all appliances that use the water line." - "Check your water meter and record the number." - "Don’t use water in your home for 3–5 hours." - "Check your water meter again. If the number increased, you have a water leak."
