Sometimes, your ears are the first clue to a hidden water leak. Learning to recognize these subtle sounds can help you catch problems early, stopping significant water damage and high utility bills.

Quiet your home. Turn off all appliances that use water, like washing machines, dishwashers, and ice makers. Listen closely for any consistent dripping, trickling, or hissing sounds when all faucets are off. A dripping sound often means a leaky faucet or toilet flapper. A trickling sound, especially coming from behind walls or under floors, could indicate a pipe leak.

A constant hissing or rushing sound near your water heater or main water line might point to a more significant leak or even a burst pipe. In your yard, listen for the sound of running water when no sprinklers or hoses are in use. These sounds confirm that water is escaping somewhere.
