Do You Need A Professional Leak Detection Service? |
Posted: March 5, 2019 |
Keeping a home free from plumbing issues is something every homeowner wants to have. Almost no homeowner thinks about their plumbing until something terrible happens. Clogs, for instance, are one of the most frequently received emergency calls a Santa Fe Plumber receives. But leaks are a close second. Most people don’t notice certain types of leaks, because they are not coming from the fixture themselves, but happen underground. For instance, a slab leak is one where you might notice that you have a damp floor, but otherwise no apparent signs of leakage. That is until you start to see a massive amount of pooling occur. A professional leak detection test is designed to locate a leak within the plumbing system. Usually, this applies to slab leaks but can be used on virtually every aspect of the plumbing system. They are more efficient at tracking down the leak than a visual inspection, and for most homeowners, it is well worth the money to have one done. Leaks within the plumbing system can drastically increase your water bill. A slab leak when it happens will spike the water bill enough for a homeowner to take notice. While you may contemplate that you used your water differently that month when you get the next bill and its just as high if not higher, you know there is an issue. While you could just pay the bill and not think twice about it, having a leak detection test to determine the problem is a great way to get to the bottom of if you have an issue or not. By correcting a leak within your home, you will decrease your water bill, and save your foundation from any more damage, which can be expensive to repair. Water damage whether it be to the foundation or the basement of your home can start to add up. It only takes one inch of water pooling to create a lot of problems. One of the issues being mold. Not only will you have to tackle the mold with removal services, but also make repairs to any of the drywall it has infected. Leak detection services while seemingly unnecessary if you know you have a leak, are worthwhile to have. There is no way of pinpointing the exact location of the leak unless it is visible, and with leak detection, you will have 100% certainty where it's coming from, and your professional plumber will be able to make repairs much more quickly.
