About Leak Detection and other Tips for Homeowners

Plumbing leaks are unfortunately common in the Roswell area, and they can stem from a small and barely detectable leak to a major burst pipe. All leaks require an immediate attention, and you can rest assured that you will receive the fast response you need when you contact us for assistance with your plumbing leak. With a closer look at our leak detection methods, you will see how quickly and easily smaller and larger leaks can be detected and fixed.

Types of Plumbing Leaks

There are a number of different types of plumbing leaks that are common for homeowners to deal with. For example, a water line can rupture. This is the main water supply line to the home, and it runs through the yard to the home. It may rupture because of tree roots that grow into it, soil settlement or general wear and tear that occurs with age. Polybutylene pipes are found inside many homes in the Roswell GA area, and these are known to rupture and break as well. This is because the material used in the pipes can interact with water and can break down over time. In addition to these types of leaks, slab leaks are also common, and they can be very difficult to detect. These are leaks in the pipes that run through the foundation of the home. As you can see, the leaks can develop in any location of the home or yard where pipes run, and the pipes can form an incredible network in the yard, the foundation and the walls and ceiling of the home.

Signs of a Smaller or Hidden Leak

Larger leaks are fairly easy to detect, and this is because they can create a huge stream of water that you may notice within minutes of the leak developing. A smaller leak, however, can be difficult to detect, and this is particularly true if the leak is located in the foundation or in the yard. With all types of leaks, you may notice that your water bill is higher than it should be based on your usage for the previous month. There may be no explanation regarding why your water bill is higher than it currently is. Another sign of a leak in the foundation may be a wet spot on the ground that keeps returning even after you dry it up repeatedly. In the yard, you may notice a puddle that appears for no known reason, such as a recent rain storm, and that will not dry up. This area may be damp and muddy, lush and green or a large puddle of water that seems to be growing in size. If you have noticed any of these signs of a smaller or hidden leak, leak detection from an experienced Roswell plumber may be necessary.

Why You Need to Hire a Plumber for Leak Detection

Some people may think that they can detect a leak on their own, but this is generally difficult to do and may create unnecessary damage to the home. For example, you may need to tear away dry wall, dig holes in the yard or even chip away at your foundation in order to find the leak. Then, you will still need to repair it. Keep in mind that the first section of drywall or the first hole you dig may not reveal the source of the leak, and you may need to continue to cause damage to your home in order to pinpoint the leak. On the other hand, we will be able to use advanced leak detection methods to determine if there is a leak and to find its location without causing damage to the home or minimal damage if not avoidable. When the leak is repaired, a finite, precise area can be removed, such as a small section of a concrete slab or drywall, in a specific location directly over the hole.

Types of Leak Detection Equipment Used

There are several different types of leak detection equipment that are used to find a leak in Roswell area homes or any home for that matter. For example, some will use a moisture sensor to determine if there is a leak and where the leak is coming from. Others will use a sonar device that listens for sounds of running or dripping water. These are only a few of the many different types of advanced equipment that could be used to help you locate where a leak may be.

Leak detection in Roswell Georgia is not a matter to be taken lightly because you want the leak repaired as soon as possible and with the least amount of damage done to your home. With this in mind, it is important that you hire a plumber that can do both the leak detection and repair.
