The warning signs
- Damp patches or stains on ceilings and walls
- Peeling paint, bubbling plaster or lifting wallpaper
- A musty smell or mould appearing in one spot
- Warped or soft flooring
- The sound of running water when everything is off
- Lower water pressure than usual
- A higher water bill without using more water
The water meter test
If you have a water meter: turn off every tap and appliance, note the reading, and don't use any water for an hour. If the reading has moved, water is escaping somewhere.
