What Types of Water Leaks Does a Professional Plumber Locate?

Having dealt with residential plumbing for years, experienced plumbers have an intimate understanding of the many different types of leaks that may occur in your home. This knowledge allows them to quickly find and pinpoint the location of the leak, thereby allowing them to repair it immediately.

The most common cause of water leaks is broken or leaking pipes, which can be caused by worn-out seals, loose connections, poor installation, and corrosion. These problems are not easily fixed, so it is important to have the problem addressed by a professional plumbing technician as soon as possible.

In addition to a general deterioration of pipes, some leaks are the result of small pinholes or holes that have been caused by rust from sediment buildup inside the pipe walls. These are the least noticeable leaks, but they can cause severe damage to a plumbing system and should be addressed immediately by a plumber.

A sudden spike in your water bill can be a sign that there is a hidden leak. It is important to have a leak detected before the issue gets worse and it can lead to mold growth or structural damage.

A plumbing professional can locate underground leaks and pipes that are hidden behind walls using sound detection equipment. This technology uses headphones and a microphone to listen to the sound of running water beneath your floors or walls as it travels through your pipes. This is a fast and reliable way to identify underground leaks.
