Leak Detection
Understanding the Importance of Leak Detection
At Brower Plumbing & Rooter, we know that undetected leaks can lead to significant water waste, structural damage, and costly repairs. Early detection of plumbing leaks is crucial in protecting your home and saving on water bills.
Common Signs of Plumbing Leaks
Unexpected Increase in Water Bills
A sudden spike in your water bill often indicates a hidden leak.
Mold and Mildew Growth
Excessive moisture from leaks creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew.
Water Stains or Damage
Discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors can signal a leak.
Musty Odors
Persistent damp, musty smells often arise from hidden water leaks.
Advanced Technology for Leak Detection
We employ the latest in leak detection technology to accurately and efficiently locate hidden leaks, ensuring minimal disruption to your property. Our advanced methods include:
Acoustic Leak Detection
This method uses sensitive ground microphones and listening devices to detect the sound of water escaping from pipes. It’s highly effective for locating leaks in underground pipes or within walls.
Thermal Imaging Cameras
Infrared thermal imaging helps identify temperature differences in walls and floors, indicating the presence of a hidden leak. This non-invasive technique is great for quickly locating problem areas with minimal disturbance.
Electronic Leak Detection
For leaks in underground piping or slab leaks, we use electronic devices that transmit electromagnetic signals to locate leaks accurately.
Video Pipe Inspection
Using waterproof cameras, we can visually inspect the inside of your pipes to find and diagnose leaks, blockages, or damage.
Pressure Testing
By applying controlled pressure to your plumbing system, we can identify pressure drops that signify leaks.
Gas Tracer Techniques
Safe, non-toxic gases are introduced into the pipe system. The gas, being lighter than air, escapes from the leak point and is detected on the surface, indicating the leak location.
