What Causes Hidden Water Leaks?

Residential or commercial, hidden leaks tend to trace back to a few usual suspects. Among them:

Corrosion: As pipes age, rust and other corrosive forces set in and bring on cracks, holes, and loose connections.
Freezing: Water expands as it freezes, which can burst or crack a pipe that then leaks once the thaw arrives.
Clogs: Everything from hair to cooking grease builds up in pipes over time, and the resulting pressure can rupture them.
Intrusions: Tree roots are a familiar headache for underground utilities, since they push their way straight into pipes.
High water pressure: When a pressure regulator breaks, it can send high-pressure jets through the lines that damage pipes.
Improper installation: Plumbing put in wrong from the start is prone to loose connections and other leak-causing faults.

Understanding Leak Detection Tools

At Waterfront Plumbing, our seasoned technicians use the newest technology to track down leaks in the affected areas. Once you reach out, here’s what our leak detection process covers:

Acoustic Leak Detection

Specialized listening gear amplifies the sound of water slipping out of pipes. That lets us zero in on leaks tucked behind walls, under floors, or down in the ground.

Electronic Leak Detection

Electronic sensors read the shifts in pressure and conductivity moving through your plumbing. They pin down exactly where a hidden leak sits, no digging required.

Thermal Leak Detection

Infrared thermal imaging picks up on the heat differences a water escape leaves behind, so hidden dampness and water-damaged patches become much easier to locate.

In a day when others don't even answer the phone, this is unheard of.
