Some of the Symptoms of a Leak
It is usually hard to tell when there is a leak until a lot of damage has been done. Below are some of the symptoms that you may be having a leak in your home or business premises:
Musty Smells
Moldy smell in your house or workplace may be as a result of water damage from a leakage.
Wet Spots or Water Stains
Water dripping on the floor, walls or ceiling, or water marks on the walls or the ceiling are signs of leakage.
Mold or Mildew
Mold/mildew that does not dry up especially in areas that should not be wet could be an indication of a concealed leakage.
Sound of Running Water
If you hear the sound of water running in your house when all the faucets are closed, then you may have a leak in your plumbing.
Unexplained Increase in Water Bill
If you have noticed that you have been receiving high water bills without any changes that could have led to this, then it is most likely that you have a leak that is hidden.
Our Leak Detection Process
First and foremost, one has to find the source of the leak, but this should not be done at the expense of the property or worsening the situation. The first step in our leak detection process is to conduct a visual inspection to determine if there are any signs of moisture seepage. If the source of the leak is easily identifiable, we will then fix or replace the pipe, fixture or connector that has been compromised by applying a patch or by tightening a joint.
Nonetheless, there are some leaks that may not be easy to identify. The sewer lines and the water pipes are installed in different sections of your home; they may be in the walls, the attic or beneath the floors. For this, our technicians employ sophisticated tools that help in identifying the exact spot of the leakage.
Pressure testing is an important part of this process as it allows us to check if your water pressure is equal. This information helps us determine if the leak is on the cold or hot water side of the system. We also use moisture probes and sensors in different parts of the house to determine areas with moisture or water that is not expected to be there. In case of less frequent or difficult to access leaks, we may use specific equipment like thermal lasers, fiber optic borescopes or infrared cameras to increase the chances of detection.
