How to detect water leaks under the tiles?

When the rooms of your home are plagued by water, it degrades quickly and the consequences are numerous. In reality, coatings are often attacked by water if the channels malfunction. Thus, in some rooms such as the kitchen or bathroom, you can detect water leaks under the tiles. Traces of moisture and the smell of mold are concrete signs that your tile is attacked by water. In most cases, you will see an abnormal increase in water bills. How do I know if there are water leaks under the tiles? Fissure-Expert tells you more.

The causes of a water leak under tiles

Before going to their detection, it is important to control the main reasons that cause water leaks. The causes are diverse and multiple. First of all, a water leak can occur in the event of a pipe failure. Indeed, when poor quality equipment is used for the piping system, it can quickly deteriorate. This inevitably leads to water leaks. Secondly, the non-compatibility between the soil and the material used for the pipe can cause water to leak.

In reality, when there is no compatibility, the equipment can quickly degrade. In addition to these factors, the subsidence of your foundation is also a cause of water leaks in your home, under the tiles. Finally, when your pipe touches a heating pipe or electrical wire, your system becomes faulty and causes the water to appear in the day. When there is a water leak, you begin to notice some signs. You must then quickly fix the problem so as not to have more serious consequences.

 

Signals to recognize a water leak

There are enough signs that your tile is under attack from moisture. You can therefore make a fair observation by observing the condition of your pavement. Water infiltration can cause mold stains, observable at the level of your tiles. Thus, at the sight of this dirt, you can start to check, because it is a sign of the presence of water under your tiles. In addition, unpleasant bad moisture odors are also telltale signs.

In addition, small traces of water under your tiles are also signs of an obvious water leak under your tiles. This is manifested by the appearance of water at the level of your tiles and just after cleaning, they reappear. One of the most concrete symptoms is the increase in your water bills. Indeed, a leak is always accompanied by an abnormal increase in water bills. When you start to notice this change, call a plumber to look into the situation.

On the other hand, there are also some little tricks to detect water leaks under the tiles. You can take readings of the water meter at different times in a day. When there is a hidden leak, you will certainly notice a huge difference between the numbers recorded. Another effective way to use is the use of an endoscopic camera. It is a state-of-the-art material that gives you the opportunity to visualize the inside of your pipes. With this device, it is easy for you to find any water leak buried in your home.

Seek professional repair

The consequences of a water leak under tiles are numerous. They can raise your water bills, cause foul odors in your rooms or even create electrocution. In addition, a faulty pipe forces you to spend on maintenance work. Thus, it is essential to seek experts who can accompany you to effectively solve the problem as soon as possible.
