Important Signs You May Have a Leak
So how might you know that you have a water leak? Well, in some areas of the country the water department of your municipality may have a smart meter installed on your home, and they do continuous monitoring of your water usage. If there is a sustained spike in usage they will likely inquire as to what might be happening. In other cases, if the leak is minor, this might not be caught, but your monthly water bill will reflect this increase in water usage. This might be an indication that you have a small leak somewhere.
If you have a leak that is behind a wall, you may see peeling paint from the water that has been absorbed into the wall material. You may also find wet spots around your home or property that indicate a water leak is present. And if you find growth of mold or mildew in different places, this could also be a sign that you have a small leak that is leading to this growth of mold.
How To Detect a Leak
Our team has a number of tools that we can use to help find a leak in your home. One of the noninvasive options is to use a thermal imaging device. These can detect subtle differences in temperature, especially of materials, that is caused by water. When we find a suspected area, we can investigate further. Another method is ultrasonic leak detection where devices are used to listen for the sound of moving water.
