If you have poor water pressure at one or more taps, you might have a leaky water supply line. With potable water dripping into unseen areas, you’ll get thin, guttering streams when turning affected taps on.
If you hear dripping water behind your walls when flushing your toilet, draining your bathtub, or running your shower, you probably have a leaky wastewater pipe. Leaky wastewater pipes release pathogenic effluence into homes and create serious health and safety hazards.
Without timely interventions, hidden water leaks can cause tremendous water waste. They can also attract pests and make building interiors feel muggy, clammy, and oppressive. As the water pools and evaporates, it adds considerable moisture to the indoor air. This places undue stress on HVAC systems, creating an optimal condition for mold.
By scheduling a professional plumbing leak repair, you can protect the value and marketability of your home. You can also protect your IAQ and everyone in your household. Plumbers can find and replace or fix damaged drain pipes, tighten loose plumbing connections, or notify you of the need for appliance repairs.
The best way to prevent hidden plumbing leaks is to schedule regular whole-house plumbing inspections. However, when the symptoms of a leaky pipe arise in-between plumbing inspections, professional leak detection is the best choice. With a minimally invasive approach and a need-specific solution, you can enjoy lasting peace of mind.
