I Discovered a Major, Active Leak. What Should I Do?
If you discover a major, active leak or a burst pipe in your home or business, the first and most important step is to call our team at Blue Dot Services immediately. Our emergency plumbers are available 24/7, and we will work to dispatch a technician to your location as quickly as possible. We understand the urgency of these situations, and we come prepared to tackle even the most serious plumbing disasters.
While you wait for our emergency team to arrive, you can take these steps to help protect your property and minimize damage:
- Turn off the water supply. The most important action you can take is to shut off the water supply to the affected area or, if necessary, to your entire property. The main water shut-off valve is typically located in your basement, crawlspace, or garage. It could also be outside near your water meter. Stopping the flow of water will help prevent further flooding and damage.
- Turn off the electricity. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. If the leak is near any electrical outlets, appliances, or your circuit breaker box, turn off the power to that area (if it is safe to do so). You can do this by flipping the circuit breaker switch for the affected room or, in an extreme situation, by turning off the main power to your home.
- Drain your water lines. After you shut off the main water supply, open all the faucets in your home. This helps to drain the remaining water from your pipes and relieve pressure, which can reduce the amount of water escaping from the leak.

Signs of a Hidden Leak
Our team at Blue Dot Services can locate even the most hidden leaks by combining our decades of experience with advanced technology. Using non-invasive methods like thermal imaging cameras, acoustic leak detectors, and video pipe inspection, we can pinpoint the exact source of a leak without tearing up your walls or yard.
Our expert plumbers listen for the subtle sounds of running water, feel for temperature changes in surfaces, and visually inspect the inside of pipes to find the root of the problem. This allows us to provide a targeted and efficient repair that saves you time and money while preventing unnecessary disruption.
You may have a hidden leak and should schedule a plumbing inspection if you notice any of the following issues:
- Unexplained increase in your water bill. One of the most telling signs of a hidden leak is a sudden or steady increase in your water bill that you can't explain. If your usage habits haven't changed but your bill keeps climbing, it's a strong indicator that water is escaping somewhere in your system.
- The sound of running water. Do you hear the faint sound of water running or dripping when all faucets and appliances are turned off? This could be a sign of a leak inside your walls or under your floors.
- Mold or mildew growth. A hidden leak creates a moist environment where mold and mildew can thrive. If you notice a musty smell or see mold growing on walls, floors, or ceilings, it could be a sign of a leak in that area.
- Water stains or discoloration. Brown or yellow water stains on your walls, ceilings, or floors are a clear indication that water is seeping through. These stains often appear directly over the location of a leak.
- Warping floors or damaged walls. A persistent leak can cause materials like wood flooring to warp, buckle, or swell. Drywall and plaster may also show signs of damage, such as bubbling, peeling paint, or a soft, spongy feel.
- Foundation cracks. Leaks under a concrete slab foundation can lead to a shift in the soil, causing cracks in the foundation or the walls of your home or business. This is a serious issue that requires immediate attention.
Whatever leak you are dealing with is no match for our seasoned plumbers. Call (785) 566-1253 or contact us online today.
