Leak Detection Services

The location of a leak may not always be obvious. Fortunately, though, there are advanced detection techniques. Our plumbers often use acoustic devices to hear the leak and analyze data from the noises. There are also thermal sensors that can detect heat energy generated by leaks.

Another option is a pipe inspection using a high-definition camera. All of these methods work both inside and outside the home. Our pumbers also have moisture sensors that can detect a buildup in walls and other surfaces.

Signs You Have a Pipe Leak

While you may miss pipe leaks for a long time, there are often signs of them. A sudden, unexplained increase in water consumption, for instance, is one. Some homeowners even get calls from their water companies alerting them to high usage.

If a leak continues, you’ll likely notice mildew or mold. If you smell mustiness, it’s important to figure out where it’s coming from. Mold from a leak suggests there’s damage to wood, sheetrock, carpet, and other items.

Look out for these other signs that you have a pipe leak:

• Cracks in your foundation
• Sudden low water pressure
• Soggy patches on your lawn
• Peeling or bubbling wallpaper or paint
• Water stains on ceilings, walls, and floors

Leak Detection & Repair

Once we’ve found a leak, the first step is to disable the water supply, after which we’ll repair the pipe. In some cases, this may involve replacing an entire pipe or only the section that’s leaking. In others, we’ll leave the pipe in place and repair it. That could involve welding, pipe clamps, wraps, epoxy, or other solutions.

FAQs

Often, when a homeowner experiences a serious leak, it’s the first time they’ve ever dealt with such a problem. Our team takes great pride in providing customers with all the information they need.

Why is leak detection essential for homeowners in Seattle?

It can take a long time to notice a leak, so it’s important to schedule professional services at the first signs of trouble. Consider that a single drip per second can add up to 3,000 gallons annually. You can spend a lot just on wasted water and even more if there’s significant water damage. The other big concern is mold growth that may degrade your indoor air quality and seriously affect your family’s health.

How can leak detection services save you money?

A fast drip can easily cost you between $5 and $10 per month, and substantial leaks can cost much more. Of course, the expenses from a leak extend beyond the wasted water. An undetected leak can cause substantial damage to your slab, foundation, and landscape. If you need remediation in your home, that can easily cost you thousands as well.
