Signs You Have a Hidden Leak(s)

Well before any specialized testing, your house tends to flag a leak on its own. Several warning signs are worth noticing whenever leaks are on your mind. See any listed below? Turn off your main water supply and contact Waterfront Plumbing’s leak detection specialists quickly to hold the damage in check.
  • Unexplained water damage on walls, ceilings, or flooring

  • Peeling paint or bubbling drywall caused by trapped moisture

  • The sound of dripping water when taps are off

  • Persistent, musty odors emanating from walls and floors

  • Visible mold growth near pipes and plumbing fixtures

  • Reduced water pressure throughout your home

  • Damp, soggy areas near underground lines

  • Slow drainage or other issues connected to damaged drain lines

  • Higher water bills without explanation

What Causes Hidden Water Leaks?

Across residential and commercial plumbing alike, a few familiar causes sit behind most hidden leaks. They include:
  • Corrosion: As the years pass, rust and other corrosive forces wear on pipes and create cracks, holes, and loose connections.
  • Freezing: Water grows as it freezes, and that expansion can crack or burst a pipe, which leaks once the ice melts.
  • Clogs: Hair, cooking grease, and more gather in pipes as time goes by, building pressure that may rupture the pipe.
  • Intrusions: Tree roots plague underground utilities on a regular basis, since they can grow directly into the pipes.
  • High water pressure: Should a water pressure regulator break, it may fire high-pressure jets that do damage to pipes.
  • Improper installation: Plumbing that was never set up right can suffer loose connections and other issues that bring on leaks.

Understanding Leak Detection Tools

Our skilled technicians at Waterfront Plumbing turn to the newest technology to find leaks in the affected areas. When you reach out, our leak detection process involves:

Acoustic Leak Detection

Specialized listening equipment turns up the sound of water escaping from a pipe. Using it, we can pinpoint leaks concealed behind walls, under floors, or in the ground.

Electronic Leak Detection

Electronic sensors follow the pressure and conductivity changes within your plumbing system. They point to the precise location of a hidden leak with no excavation needed.

Thermal Leak Detection

Infrared thermal imaging zeroes in on the temperature shifts a water escape produces, which makes it easier to find dampness behind surfaces and areas the water has harmed.

Marco answered the phone, came out within an hour of me calling, and had it fixed in short order. In a day when others don't even answer the phone, this is unheard of. Did I mention it was on a weekend?!?! Awesome service.

We had just lost my dad, had a lot of company. Our back two toilets plugged. They were so quick to come out. Fixed our problem and was so very nice to work with. It was a Sunday and was much less than others. Thank you for making our lives easier in such a stressful time for us.
