    What is Leak Detection?

    Leak detection is the process of finding hidden water or gas leaks within your plumbing system, which are often not visible to the naked eye. Leaks can occur in various areas of your plumbing system, such as pipes, faucets, toilets, and water heaters. Sometimes, leaks can be slow and undetectable at first, causing long-term damage without your knowledge. That’s why early detection is essential to prevent costly repairs down the road.

    At A&R Plumbing, we utilize the latest technology to detect even the most minor leaks. Our advanced leak detection methods allow us to identify leaks that may be hidden behind walls, beneath floors, or underground. These techniques include:

    • Electronic Leak Detection: Using sensitive equipment, we listen for the sound of water escaping through the pipes. This helps pinpoint the exact location of the leak without causing unnecessary damage to your home.
    • Infrared Thermography: Infrared cameras can detect temperature differences caused by leaks, even if they are hidden behind walls or floors. This allows us to quickly locate and assess the severity of the problem.
    • Pressure Testing: We pressurize the plumbing system to detect any drops in pressure, which can indicate the presence of a leak.
    • Acoustic Leak Detection: This method involves using specialized microphones and sensors to listen for the sound of leaks. This is particularly useful for detecting underground leaks in pipes.

    Using these techniques, we can find leaks that would otherwise go unnoticed, saving you from the costly consequences of undetected water damage.


    Common Signs of Plumbing Leaks

    Plumbing leaks often go unnoticed because they can be hidden behind walls, under floors, or underground. However, there are several signs that may indicate a potential leak in your plumbing system. It’s important to watch for these signs so you can address leaks before they cause major damage:

    • High Water Bills: If your water bill suddenly spikes without an increase in usage, it may be due to a hidden leak in your plumbing system. A small leak can waste a significant amount of water, leading to higher bills.
    • Water Stains: Discoloration or stains on your walls, ceilings, or floors could indicate a water leak behind the surface. Look for yellow or brown spots that appear over time.
    • Mold or Mildew: Persistent mold or mildew growth in your home is a clear sign of excess moisture, which could be caused by a plumbing leak. Mold can lead to health problems and should be addressed immediately.
    • Wet Floors or Carpets: If you notice dampness or puddles of water on your floors or carpets, this may be a sign of a leak in the pipes beneath the floor or behind the walls.
    • Low Water Pressure: A sudden drop in water pressure can indicate a leak in your plumbing system, especially if it affects multiple faucets or appliances at the same time.
    • Sounds of Running Water: If you hear the sound of running water even when no fixtures are in use, it could mean there’s a hidden leak somewhere in your plumbing system.

    If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to contact A&R Plumbing for professional leak detection services. Our experienced team can quickly identify the source of the leak and recommend the best course of action to repair it and prevent further damage.
