If you’ve noticed a leak under your sink, Bryant Air Conditioning, Heating, Electrical & Plumbing in Lincoln, NE, recommends getting it fixed as soon as possible. The longer you wait to make the repairs, the worse it’s going to get and the more you’re going to end up paying a plumber. Whether it’s a leaky faucet, a slow-dripping shower head, or a busted water pipe, it’s just a matter of time before serious property damage occurs and mold will begin to grow in your home.

To keep your water bill low and your structure safe, here are a few signs you have a plumbing leak that needs to be repaired as soon as possible:

• Mold Growth: In order for this fungus to grow inside your home, it needs two things: moisture and warmth. Look for mold growth not only in clearly visible places, like on the walls, but also underneath the sink and behind the toilet. If you find any, you may have a leaky pipe somewhere, and you’ll need to call a plumber right away. 
• Rotting Wood: Even the smallest leak underneath your kitchen or bathroom sink can cause paint to peel and wood to rot. If you don’t call a plumber to fix it right away, the damage could spread to your floors and walls, resulting in expensive repair bills.
• Puddles Of Water: You should never see standing water anywhere on your property, especially if you don’t know where it’s coming from. The cause could range from a crack in your foundation to a leaking toilet, so you should call a plumber immediately to start ruling issues out. 

Don’t procrastinate when it comes to plumbing leaks, as they could result in mold infestations and expensive structural damage to your residential or commercial property.
