how to detect water leak
Water leaks are very common, especially in older houses. They’re not usually a major issue if you can locate the leak quickly and get it fixed.
However, the longer the leak continues, the more damage it can cause, including decay, rot and flooding. What starts as a simple fix can turn into an expensive problem.
