Leak Detection

Most homeowners have dealt with dripping taps or small pipe leaks over the course of their life. However, water leaks can be much more serious and much more difficult to find than a simple dripping faucet. Plumbing leaks that occur in the slab or other areas of your home that aren’t as noticeable can cause significant damage to your home. If you’re facing an unidentified leak, you need a plumbing team that can locate and repair it fast.

If you think that your home might have a leak, call the leak detection specialists at Jim’s Plumbing Now. Our expert technicians will locate and repair even the most difficult to find water leaks — all with prompt, quality service.

Here are some common areas where hidden water leaks occur:

• The plumbing concealed behind your walls and under your floors
• The service line from your pump/meter to your home, which usually runs under your yard
• In the slab, where the hot and cold water lines enter the home
• Crawl spaces and basements (which are prone to flooding from plumbing leaks

You never want to waste time trying to find the leak yourself because you risk more water damage occurring in the  meantime. Plus, you don’t need the added stress of hunting for a leak you can’t find!  If you suspect a leak, contact a professional immediately.

How Do I Know If I Have A Water Leak?

*If you have a catastrophic water leak, turn off the water supply to your entire home and call for emergency plumbing assistance.*

Although homeowners will be hard-pressed to locate the exact source of a water leak on their own, it’s important to know the signs of a water leak. By recognizing the signs of a plumbing leak, you can prevent further damage and even lower the cost of repairs by getting expert help quickly. Keep an eye out for these signs of a water leak:

• Wet spots on your floor and walls (the floor might feel spongy)
• The sound of running water even when no water is being used
• A higher water bill despite no change in your water usage
• Mildew or mold
• Cracks forming in the flooring or walls
• Your water meter changes (or the well pump runs) even when you don’t use water

If you notice one or multiple water leak symptoms, it’s time to take the proper steps for fixing your potential water leak. If you’re not sure whether you have a leak or not, err on the side of caution.

Even the most subtle sign could point to a leak that could cost you time, money and stress. It’s better to let us use our years of experience and knowledge to give your home the all clear.

Static Testing To Diagnose Water Leaks

If you can’t find the leak by looking with your own eyes, how will the plumbers do it any differently? While our professional plumbers do complete a visual evaluation of your systems to gain insight to where the leak is coming from, we also rely on special technology and industry tactics.

If you suspect a leak in your plumbing, your plumber will perform a static test to confirm whether your home has a leak and determine its extent. This is done by filling your plumbing system with water and measuring whether the water leaves the pipes.

If the test confirms a leak, the plumber will take steps to locate and repair it.
