Indicators That You Should Call for Leak Detection Services

Helpful-Plumber-1

When you have a plumbing leak under the sink, you’re bound to notice pools of water forming near the source. But your plumbing system is a complex network of pipes and drains, so you may not always notice leaks as soon as they occur. A pipe can spring a leak anywhere in your plumbing system, which means water may leak into your yard or into the walls, floors, or ceiling. If this happens, you may develop a mold or mildew problem, and the leak may worsen. But how do you know when to call for professional leak detection?

  • Low Water Pressure: One of the ways you can tell that there may be a leak in your plumbing system is if you notice low water pressure. Your water supply is pressurized so that water can move out of the faucets at an optimal flow rate. But if water just seems to trickle from the faucet or showerhead, it may be leaking through a pipe in your water supply line.
  • Water Spots in Your Yard: The pipes that connect the municipal water supply to your home, as well as the pipes that link the drainage system to the sewer, run underneath your yard. If you see wet spots in your yard, there may be a leak in the water or sewer line.
  • High Water Usage: If your water bills seem to be unusually high, it may be due to a leak. Compare your water usage to the previous month. If usage is up but nothing has changed significantly in your household, professional leak detection may pin down the problem with fiber optic video inspection technology.
  • Older Pipes: If you have an older plumbing system that hasn’t been checked recently, you may want to schedule leak detection services just to be sure your pipes are still viable. While newer pipes are made from copper or plastic materials, older steel pipes are likely to corrode.
