Scheduling Leak Detection and Testing

It is always a good idea to regularly schedule services such as leak detection and plumbing video camera inspection. Services such as these give you greater insight into what is going on with your plumbing system so you can identify potential problems and keep your plumbing system in the best shape possible. However, there may be some times when you notice signs that indicate you may be experiencing a leak or a similar issue somewhere in your plumbing system, even if that leak is not readily identifiable. 

For example, common signs of plumbing leaks include moist or wet areas appearing within your home or on your property. You may also notice that your water bills are higher than they typically are, or that the overall water pressure in your home is lower than it should be. Other things that may necessitate water leak detection services include noticing rusted or corroded pipes, water stains along your walls or ceilings, or the growth of mold and mildew in similar areas. 

With our water leak detection and testing services, our plumbing professionals will be able to get to the source of the problems you are experiencing. From there, we can make recommendations for services such as leak repair or even whole house repiping that can get your plumbing system functioning properly again.

On August 13, 2024, in Dallas, Texas, our expert plumbing team responded to a water issue. Water was noticed at the corner of the patio near the washing machine wall and garage. The problem area includes a downspout from the second floor connecting to the first-floor gutter. There was slight growth on the wall and between the bricks, but no active water was detected at the time. Using the sprinkler system, we identified a leak on zone two at the generator. Zones five and six might be under the patio and capped off. We recommended the customer test the zones and washing machine drain individually.
