Look out ofr the following; a drop in water pressure, water stains on your ceiling, floors or walls, a higher than usual water bill, mildew formation, strange noises, rusty pipes and large wet spots in your yard.

If the water leak is inside your home or you have a burst pipe you should first turn off your water supply at your main shutoff valve. If you do not have a main shutoff valve, or don’t know where it is located, you may turn off your water at your meter in an emergency situation. If any damage has occurred it is advisable to contact your insurance company. Do not touch any wet electrical fittings – call in an electrician.

Not only do leaks get larger with age, but they can also potentially cause damage to your home. In addition to wasting water, household leaks can also cause major water damage – damage that could be costly to fix. Since leaks can cause structural damage to your home and potential illness to those who live in it, it seems only obvious that you should have them repaired as soon as possible.

Not all leaks will rise to the surface, and in fact, many will stay hidden for quite a long time. Common sources of hidden leaks include rainstorm pipes, sewer lines, stream channels and deserted pipes.

There’s no one single way to do the job. We use a variety of techniques and tools, starting with visual checks. Depending on the situation, we will then use acoustic listening devices, thermal scanners, video pipe cameras, hydrogen detection and other non-invasive tools that won’t disrupt the building.
