Walls and ceilings
A supply pipe or a drain inside a wall or above a ceiling can leak for some time before it shows as a stain, a soft patch of drywall or peeling paint.
Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair in Indianapolis
Brown rings on a ceiling, a floor that feels warm in one spot, the hiss of water when every tap is closed and a water bill higher than last month all suggest water escaping out of sight. The plumber you hire finds the leak and fixes the pipe.

Where hidden leaks show up
Under a slab floor
A pipe under a concrete floor can leak into the ground beneath it. Signs include a damp or warm patch on the floor, cracked flooring or water where none should be.
Under the yard
A leak in the water line outside can show as a soggy strip of lawn, a sunken spot or water seeping up after dry weather.
Behind fixtures and appliances
Supply lines to toilets, sinks, dishwashers and washers can drip behind the appliance or at the back of a cabinet, out of sight.
The water service line to your house
Citizens Energy Group describes service lines as the water lines that run from the utility’s water main to the home, and it says these service lines are owned by the property owner.
If a leak turns up on that line, the plumber you hire can repair it or replace it, and the repiping page covers putting in a new service line.
Lawn sprinklers and backflow tests
Citizens Energy Group has homes with a backflow device, such as one on a lawn sprinkler system, get it tested at least once a year by a tester certified by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. Your plumber or irrigation contractor will know whether you have one.
Galvanized or lead supply lines that keep failing are a repiping question, and that page also covers the Citizens lead program. Water bursting from a pipe right now is emergency plumbing, and the home page holds everything else.
