How We Handle Water Leak Detection in Marlborough, MO

Our Marlborough, MO, water leak detection services can look very different from house to house. Different detection methods are used to verify that there is a leak, figure out if it's a water or sewage leak, and repair it once it's identified.

To begin, we'll often verify that the issue is a leak and not another plumbing problem. Normally, this means looking for visible water pools, listening for dripping water, and looking for constantly running water at the meter.

Now that we know there's a leak, the next step is to identify whether the leak is a part of your water line vs. sewer line, or maybe an appliance. We can manually inspect appliances, use valve shutoffs, and use water pressure tests to narrow down the location.

Now that the leak's nature has been determined, we need to locate the actual leak. This usually starts with a visual pipe inspection, such as checking the walls and floors for stains, some leaks won't have many visual indicators. If we're confident that there's a leak but can't see it from the outside, we will take advantage of a drain camera or ground microphone to locate it.

Now that we've found the leak, it's time to stop it and plug it.


Marlborough, MO, Water Leak Detection and Repairs

After completing Marlborough, MO, water leak detection services, we'll get to work on repairs. Our expert plumbers can help with pipe repairs, faucet repairs, dishwasher repairs, and more. While every leak is unique, they can generally be sorted into three categories: Pipe leaks, water heater leaks, and appliance leaks.

With a local plumbing expert on the job, you can get help addressing any root cause of a leak. Signature Plumbing's experts will bring their full toolkit to the job, so we can take care of a repair as soon as we find the leak.

Common Water Leaks in Marlborough

Pipe leaks can occur in either water or sewer lines, and are frequently the result of wear and tear, but can also be caused by incidental damage. Additionally, when water freezes and expands in the winter, pipes that haven't been emptied are commonly damaged. Depending on the size of the leak, we might be able to plug/patch the hole and leave the rest of the pipe intact. But if it's too big, a pipe replacement may be necessary.

Water heater repairs vary greatly depending on the nature of the water heater (gas vs. electric, tank vs. tankless, etc.). mistakes can damage the machinery and hurt the person working on it, making it essential to work with a licensed master plumber.

Appliance repairs are hard to describe in detail, because one can be so different from another. For example, dishwashers can involve tightening hookups and hoses, while toilet repairs might mean valve replacements or repairs.

6 Signs That Your Home Has a Water Leak

Water leaks sound like they should be obvious to identify – just find the water on the floor, right?

Sometimes it's that easy, but often, it's not. If you're noticing any (or multiple) of the following 6 warning signs, you probably have a leak somewhere in your home.

  1. Wet Spots
  2. Dripping or Spraying Sounds
  3. Blistering or Peeling Wall Paint
  4. Unexplained High Water Bills
  5. Foundation Cracks
  6. Low Water Pressure

When you suspect that you have a leak in Marlborough, MO, Siganture Plumbing's water leak detection services can help with everything from identification to repairs.

5 Steps to Take if You Suspect You Have a Water Leak

Whether it's a pipe, appliance, or something else that's leaking, it won't get better on its own. Contacting a expert is an obvious step, but you should also do the following to protect yourself and your property:

  1. Shut off the water valve for the affected area.
  2. Disable electricity near the leak (if safe).
  3. Clear out valuables.
  4. Contact a professional.
  5. Document the damage.

Do this, and you'll have minimized the damage, set up the repair process for success, and started the necessary work to make an insurance claim.


Short and Long Term Effects of a Water Leak

Letting water leaks go on without repairs can result in a litany of problems.

As soon as the leak starts, the flowing water is raising your water usage, and the associated bill. And if it's bad enough, you could also face property damage to your walls, floors, and furniture.

Over time, you'll have to contend with more issues. Mold growth can cause nasty smells throughout your house, friction and erosion to your home's structure, and even health issues. Plus, depending on the leak's location, you could be risking additional health harm.

To compound the above issues, while Marlborough, MO, home insurance may cover emergency breaks, typically it will not cover the damage caused by neglected water leaks.
