We restore water damage in Hawaii and Maui.

Aloha! Our local Hawaii and Maui teams have been restoring water damage in Wailuku for over twenty years. A common cause of pipe breakage on Maui is ground movement due to seismic activity or soil erosion, leading to stress and eventual breakage of underground pipes. Hidden water leaks can cause significant damage if not detected early. Here are key signs to identify a hidden leak:

1. Higher Water Bills: A sudden spike in your water bill without increased usage suggests a leak.
2. Damp or Discolored Areas: Look for water stains, damp patches, or peeling paint on walls, ceilings, and floors.
3. Musty Odors: Persistent musty smells indicate mold growth, a sign of a hidden leak.
4. Low Water Pressure: A noticeable drop in water pressure can signal a leak in the plumbing system.
5. Unusual Sounds: Hearing running water when taps are off suggests a hidden leak.
6. Warm Spots: Warm spots on the floor can indicate a hot water pipe leak.
7. Lush Yard Patches: Extra green patches in your yard might point to an underground leak.

If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional to inspect your home. Early detection and repair can prevent extensive damage and save money.
