Water Leak Detection Services

A water leak can be a homeowner's nightmare, and while some leaks are easy to spot and fix, others can remain hidden, causing extensive damage over time. If you're dealing with a plumbing issue like this, there's no need to start digging up your yard or tearing apart your walls. Mr. Rooter® Plumbing, your trusted local plumbing service, specializes in water leak detection services, ensuring your peace of mind.

Slab Leak Detection and Repair

Slab leaks are among the most challenging plumbing issues to identify and rectify. These leaks occur when pipes buried beneath your home's concrete slab or basement floor develop a leak. The signs of a slab leak are not always obvious, but here are some clues to watch out for:

1. The sound of running water, even when faucets and toilets are not in use.
2. Wet carpet, flooring, or concrete.
3. Damp or moldy drywall on your lower floor.
4. A musty odor in your basement.
5. Soaring water bills.
6. Visible damage to your foundation.

If you suspect a slab leak, it's crucial to seek professional water leak detection and water leak repair services promptly. Delaying repairs can lead to severe water damage and, in some cases, even structural damage to your home's foundation.

A skilled plumber can swiftly locate the leak, create the smallest possible opening in your slab, complete the necessary repairs, and then restore your slab to its original condition. To determine if your local Mr. Rooter Plumbing offers slab leak detection and repair services, contact us.

How We Use Advanced Plumbing Leak Detection Technology

To pinpoint water leaks hidden beneath soil, within walls, or beneath concrete slabs, we use an array of tools and technology. Here are three commonly used leak detection methods:

1. Acoustic Listening Equipment: This technology amplifies the sound of water leaks inside walls or under concrete slabs, enabling plumbers to estimate the leak's location without unnecessary digging or drilling.
2. Video Inspection Equipment: Plumbers use small cameras to inspect the insides of pipes. By measuring how much cable they insert into the pipe before identifying the trouble spot, plumbers can accurately diagnose pipeline issues and locate the leak.
3. Soil Probes: These devices help plumbers listen for pressurized water escaping into the soil around water mains or sewer lines, minimizing the disruption to your yard while locating and repairing the leaky pipe.
