Leak Detection and Repair

If you have a leak somewhere, finding it and repairing it as soon as possible is key to preventing major damage to your home.

Leaks can happen for many different reasons, most of which are out of your control. Sometimes leaks occur due to home builder error. They may have used faulty plumbing materials. Or, an animal may have chewed through a pipe from the outside of your home.

There are some leaks that are so small, you don’t even realize they are there until other, more serious signs appear.

|Signs of a Water Leak|
There are some obvious signs of a water leak, like a brown stain on your ceiling or walls. Wet spots in areas where there should not be wet spots, a higher meter reading or higher utility bill are a few other signs, as well as a musty smell in your home.

Those are the ones you can see and detect. That doesn’t mean these are the only ways to tell if you have a leak, however. In fact, many leaks go unnoticed early on because they need specialized equipment and expertise that most homeowners don’t have and shouldn’t have.

That’s what the professional plumbers are for, to help your home function at its best by detecting and resolving pictures before they become major, costly issues.

Below are some of the detection methods Whitton Plumbing can provide.
Video Inspection

Your local plumber now can crawl into your pipes through opening like the toilet, roof vents, clean outs or drains. While in your pipes they can inspect every inch, taking note of any cracks, large or small.

No, they don’t climb in there. That would be gross, and impossible. With the use of a tiny infrared video camera, your plumber can know where to make repairs. Finding smaller cracks early can save you big bucks later.

|Pressure Tests|

Many homes have plumbing that can’t be seen. It was installed underground. That doesn’t protect it from leaks, though. Luckily, professional plumbers can perform hydrostatic pressure tests to see if you have any leaks in your plumbing.
Believe it or not, they clog your lines to perform this test. With an inflatable test ball blocking your line, they can observe what the water does to determine if there is a leak.

|Listening for Leaks|

While plumbing technicians do not have superpowers, they can be superheroes when finding and repairing a leak. Some technicians listen for leaks. They have electronic listening devices that help them locate the area of the leak, even if it’s far into your system.
Plumbers are so skilled at using listening devices that they can hear a leak even through concrete.
Once the leak area is determined, they send an electric shock to locate the exact spot. Sounds like a superpower after all.
