Leak Detection & Repair: Frequently Asked Questions
Water leaks can be costly and damaging if left unnoticed or unaddressed. Whether you're concerned about a hidden leak, need a quick detection service, or are wondering about insurance coverage, we've got you covered. Below, we answer some of the most common questions homeowners have about leaks and how to handle them effectively.
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Common signs of hidden leaks include unexpectedly high water bills, the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, damp or warm spots on floors or walls, musty odors, or visible mold growth. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to have a professional inspection immediately to prevent water damage.
How long does a leak detection service take?
Most residential leak detection services take between 1-2 hours to complete. However, the exact time depends on your home's size and the complexity of your plumbing system. Our technicians use advanced equipment to locate leaks quickly and efficiently.
Does insurance cover leak repairs?
Many homeowner insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage from pipe bursts or major leaks. However, coverage varies by policy, and damage from long-term leaks might not be covered. We can provide detailed documentation of our findings and repairs for your insurance claim.
Types of Leak Repairs
Plumbing Drain Leaks: These leaks only show up if the leaking drain has wastewater running through it. Whenever drain pipes are visible, there will be a stain on the ceiling or wall where the drain is, or a moldy odor is present, indicative of a leak.
Sink Basin Leaks: These leaks happen whenever sinks are installed incorrectly, have loose parts or corrosion, or are missing gaskets or sealants. The leak occurs at the drain assembly area of the sink
Visible Leak: Leaks from the tap directly while the water is on but stops once the tap is turned off indicate a clear leak issue.
Hidden Leak: Hidden leaks can happen inside the wall and are hard to notice until significant time has passed. Stains on the wall or ceiling near the fixture or a moldy smell indicate a hidden leak.
Pipe Burst: This type of leak results when the water supply pipe has burst or been separated at a solder joint. Once the water is turned on, the water leaks out quickly and profusely. The leaks from a water supply leak may be heard as a gushing sound. You can also see evidence of water flooding in a specific area.
Drip Leak: A small leak in the water supply pipe can happen when there is a loose threaded fitting; a pinhole from corrosion, nail, or something driven into the pipe; or from a worn valve stem packing. Due to the slow leaking process, it is extremely hard to diagnose a drip leak on your own.
