Hidden Leak Detection
The main issue with leaks isn’t so much that they waste water as they are challenging to find. Leaks are a relatively simple defect that plumbers resolve quickly with the right know-how, but only if they can locate the leak in the first place. To this end, we find that our hidden leak detection services are indispensable when dealing with a mystery leak. To identify the presence of a leak in your plumbing system, we generally use three separate procedures:
- Pressure Tests: We block water flow in your lines using an inflatable ball to perform this test. If there is a decrease in water pressure during this time, the test implies a leak.
- Leak Listening: While it cannot pinpoint the location of a leak, electric devices can effectively hear the presence of leaks in water lines
- Video Inspections: Using infrared cameras, plumbers can locate any changes in the walls of your plumbing lines.
Using these three techniques, the plumbers from Lion Home Service can identify most leaks.
Leak Location Services
Knowing that your plumbing has sprung the leak is excellent, but it doesn’t solve the problem. To repair the problem area, you must first find it. This point is where our leak location services are the most helpful. First, our plumber will work to narrow down the location of your leak. Usually, this means using several inflatable balls to cut off water flow to several distinct sections of your lines. Then this process is continually repeated in areas that fail to maintain water pressure until our plumber can identify the leak’s portion. From here, your plumber can either attempt to repair the designated area or continue to pinpoint the exact location of the drip. With any luck, the leak will be in a site that is easy to access and repair.
Why Is Slab Leak Detection Important?
Unfortunately, slab leaks are not a quick fix. Leaks near your slab foundation can be some of the most devastating. Not only are they practically impossible to detect until they have become a severe problem, but they also significantly damage your home’s foundation. That makes it all the more vital that you have us perform a slab leak detection at the first sign of a leak. Specifically, it would help if you watched out for:
- Water Spots On The Floor
- Cracks In The Foundation
- Mold Or Mildew In Unexpected Places
Each one of these is not only a sign of a leak in your concrete slab; they are signs that your home and family are in danger! Thankfully, our services can help you avoid this tricky situation.
