Leak Detection

Water leaks have caused insurance companies over $23 billion to fix since 2008 and affect countless homes and businesses throughout the nation. They can cause serious harm to both people and building material, and lead to mounting costs to property owners in terms of damage resulting from undetected leaks. Small faucet drips, for example, could be an indication of deeper structural problems with piping, so it’s best to contact leak detection plumbers early to help identify and repair the source of the leak.

We know that good leak detection companies can be hard to find, give us a call today and we will provide you with a reliable and expert leak detection specialist!

 

What Is a Slab Leak & How Is It Caused?

A “slab leak” is a term used to describe a leak in the water lines running from beneath your home or business’ foundation, also commonly referred to as its concrete slab. These leaks can develop on both the drainage and pressure sides of your piping and can cause major damage if left alone. In some cases, a slab leak can cause your foundation to crumble.

A slab leak can be caused by any of the following:

  • Poorly installed pipes
  • Shifts in your foundation
  • Corrosion and abrasion of pipes

The Dangers of Waiting to Fix a Leak

Leaks might not be immediately damaging to your home, but the longer you let it persist, the more damage it can start to do. Not only will the cost of repairs increase the longer you wait, you could also be risking your home’s structural integrity depending on the location and severity of the leak. Some of the disastrous consequences associated with leaks left unchecked and unrepaired include:

  • Water damage to tenants
  • Power failure
  • Pipe replacements
  • Business losses
  • Equipment failure, including computer equipment
