Signs of a hidden water leak in Winthrop homes include an unexplained increase in your monthly water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, musty or mildew odors in walls or cabinets, discoloration or bubbling paint, soft spots in walls or flooring, and visible mold growth. If you notice any of these signs, call Magnet Plumbing for professional leak detection.
Undetected hidden leaks in Winthrop homes cause progressive water damage to framing, insulation, and drywall. Within 24 to 48 hours moisture enables mold growth.
