The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests that the average household’s leaks can waste nearly 10,000 gallons of water yearly, enough to fill a backyard swimming pool. In addition to causing hefty water bills, hidden leaks damage walls, flooring, and ceilings.
There are several indicators that can let you know you have a hidden water leak in your plumbing.
High water bills
Drops in water pressure
Damp walls and floors
Mold and mildew growth
When our La Plata plumbers arrive at your house to detect a water leak, they begin by conducting a thorough inspection of the property. This inspection includes visually examining areas where leaks commonly occur, such as under sinks, around water heaters, and near toilets or other plumbing fixtures. This initial assessment helps them identify potential problem areas before using more advanced techniques.
After the initial visual inspection, our professionals use specialized tools to pinpoint the exact location of the issue. Acoustic listening devices allow our team to detect leaks behind walls, under floors, or even in underground pipes. Thermal imaging cameras are another valuable tool, as they can detect temperature differences in walls or floors caused by plumbing leaks. They use these advanced techniques to avoid the need to make holes in floors or ceilings to find the issue.
Once our plumbers find the leak, they will discuss the best course of action with you. The repair method depends on the location and severity of the leak. The solution could be as simple as sealing a damaged connection or replacing a faulty fixture. In more severe cases, they might need to replace a section of damaged piping. If the leak is in a difficult-to-access area, such as within a wall or under a foundation, they may need to open up the area to make the necessary repairs. Regardless of the repair method, our team has the tools and expertise to quickly fix leaks and minimize disruption to your family’s routine.
