Water Leak Detection Services in Austin

Suspect a Leak? Call Today for Expert Repair/Maintenance

 

Water leaks can cause significant damage if left unnoticed, and not all of them are easy to spot. While a dripping faucet might catch your attention, leaks hidden beneath your home’s slab or within walls can quietly wreak havoc. If you suspect a leak in your home or business, we are here to help with professional leak detection services.

 

Where Leaks Commonly Occur

Leaks can happen in various parts of your property. Some of the most common problematic areas are:

• Service Lines: The water line running from your meter or pump to your home is often buried beneath your yard or driveway. Leaks in this line can go undetected for long periods, leading to substantial water loss and potential property damage.
• Slab Foundation: Slab leaks occur when the plumbing beneath your home’s concrete foundation develops a crack or hole. These leaks can be especially troublesome, as they’re not visible and can cause significant structural damage.
• Walls and Floors: Plumbing within your walls or floors can develop leaks that may not be immediately obvious, often leading to mold growth or water stains.
• Basements and Crawl Spaces: These areas are prone to flooding if a leak develops in your plumbing system, which can result in extensive damage.
• Various Plumbing Fixtures: Leaks can also occur in fixtures like toilets, sinks & faucets, and bathtubs & showers. These leaks can cause property damage if not addressed promptly by a licensed residential & commercial plumber.

How to Recognize a Leak in Your Austin Home or Business

Water leaks can be silent destroyers, often going unnoticed until significant damage has occurred. Identifying the early signs of a leak can save you from costly repairs. Here’s what to watch for:

• Unexplained Sounds: Hearing the sound of water running when no taps are on could indicate a hidden leak.
• Unexpected Mildew: The sudden appearance of mildew in areas that are typically dry can be a red flag.
• Rising Water Bills: If your water bill spikes without an increase in usage, a hidden leak might be the cause.
• Foundation Cracks: Cracks appearing in your home’s foundation, walls, or flooring could signal a slab leak.
• Unusual Wet or Warm Spots: If you notice wet, discolored, or warm spots on your floors or walls, this could be a sign of a hidden leak.
• Water Meter or Pump Fluctuations: Checking your water meter can help detect leaks. If the meter reading changes after a period of no water usage, you might have a leak. For homes with well water, a constantly running pump when no water is in use could also indicate a problem.
