Water Leak Detection and Repair
|
Water leaks in a pipe can be difficult to detect because they are not always visible. These can be some of the most stressful plumbing problems a homeowner or business owner has to face.
Leaks may occur in several different places and at any time. Leaks will occur in underground water lines, pipes, sewers or drain lines. The trouble is that you may not know exactly when or where you have a leak or exactly how damaging it can be. If you happen to own an older home, you will need to pay close attention to the water pipes in your home. Especially if your home is 20+ years old, the consequences of not properly maintaining these water lines can be catastrophic. The reason older homes require additional maintenance is due to the material the plumbing system was originally built with. Galvanized metal was the material of choice 30 years ago, and the longevity of this material pales in comparison to the copper pipes we have available to us today. The introduction of copper pipes into the construction of plumbing systems has revolutionized, and increased the longevity of our plumbing builds. In most instances, these leaks require small repairs to restore water pressure to optimal levels. Occasionally, the water lines will be irreparable and need to be completely replaced.

Steps To Detect A Leak
Follow these important steps if you suspect a leak in your home or business
- Turn all fixtures off to make sure there is no running water.
- Locate your water meter and write down the numbers that are listed.
- Wait for 30-45 minutes WITHOUT turning on any water lines.
- Check the water meter again and note if numbers have changed; if numbers remain the same then there is no indication of a leak.
