WATER LEAK DETECTION
There is no easier way to complicate the havoc created by a leaky pipe than to have to cut into cement and floors to find out where the leak is coming from and determine a fix. Often, the location where the water is surfacing is not the same location as the leak. In fact, most often the water will travel some distance before it surfaces.
​

This saves time and money, allowing the plumber to immediately get to and solve the problem.

SIGNS OF A SLAB LEAK
​
One of the most disheartening things about slab leak detection for homeowners is that they don’t have regular visual access to their underground plumbing, and thus rarely know if a leak has started until it turns into a huge problem. Not to worry though: there are signs you can watch out for that indicate a slab leak is present. As soon as you suspect a problem, be sure to contact our professionals for expert slab leak detection. Signs of a slab leak include:
​
-
Increasing water bills with no unusual water use.
-
The sound of running water without any taps on.
-
Yellowish water stains on ceiling or drywall.
-
Bubbling or peeling paint.
-
You feel a "hot spot" on your flooring as you walk across it.
-
You’ve noticed cracks along your walls or ceiling that indicate the foundation of your home may have shifted.
-

-
Your water pressure suddenly drops.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SUSPECT A WATER LEAK
​
It's important to understand that there is a simple test you can perform before calling in the professionals.
​
-
Make sure all plumbing appliances are switched off. Don't forget lawn and garden irrigation, toilets, washer dryers, dishwashers, faucets, icemakers, and backwash filters. Also, make sure your pool isn't set to autofill.
-
Identify your water meter and remove its lid.
-
If your meter is moving or spinning, you most likely have a leak.
