How Can I Find a Water Leak Inside a Wall or Ceiling?

You can spot a hidden wall or ceiling leak by checking for stains, bubbling paint, musty odors, or damp/warm spots. Confirm by turning off all fixtures and watching your water meter; movement means water is leaking.

Quick checks:

• Isolate by shutting individual fixtures and rechecking the meter.
• Look above the stained ceiling for bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry.
• Listen for hissing or dripping behind the wall.
• Call a pro in Fort Collins if unsure; we use advanced leak-detection tools and offer 24/7 help.
