Water Leak Repair and Detection
A leaky faucet? No big deal, right? You’ll get around to it when you have a free minute. Or, maybe it’s better to have it fixed right away once you consider the following: even one drop per second adds up to the annual equivalent of 3,000 gallons of wasted water per year. That’s enough for 180 showers!
Besides, a leaky faucet can be downright annoying, and who needs the hassle?
Best Choice plumbers can fix water leaks throughout your home. If need be, we’ll replace the damaged pipe. Equally important, we’ll determine the cause of the leak. If, for example, it was caused by hard water, then we’ll recommend a water filtration system to prevent even more pipe damage and leaks.
Hidden Water Leaks
The most potentially damaging water leaks are those you can’t readily spot. Let’s say, for example, a pipe is leaking in your attic or behind a wall. Chances are you can’t hear it and, with no other readily apparent symptoms, life goes on as usual. Until, that is, you suddenly detect the odor of mold but can’t trace the source. Or, a portion of a ceiling starts to turn brown. That’s a clear signal, alright, but damage has already been done.
Here are other symptoms of a hidden water leak you should act on right away:
- A wet carpet above a concrete slab
- The sound of water running when it isn’t
- A decrease in water pressure
- Soggy patches on your lawn
- Black mold stains on your ceiling
- A sudden and hefty spike in your water bill that you otherwise can’t account for
Leaks in your concrete can cause foundation damage that extends up your walls and requires expensive repairs. Water ruins flooring and sheetrock. Mold and mildew cause respiratory problems.
