Some water leaks may go undetected for years because the source of the leak is not visible. Water supply lines to toilets, showers, tubs and sinks are usually located behind walls, under floors and in the ground. Toilets are a common source of leaks as they leak silently.

A damaged sewer line can leak raw sewage into the surrounding ground, potentially causing unsanitary conditions around your home for children and pets. Sometimes sewer line leaks can contaminate the fresh water supply.
