Signature Plumbing's Webster Groves, MO, Water Leak Detection Services

Each plumbing job is unique, and Webster Groves, MO, water leak detection services are no different. Different detection methods are used to verify that there is a leak, identify what system is leaking, and find it in the end.

Before finding the leak, we'll check that the symptoms are consistent with a leak. This often means looking for visible water pools, listening for drips, and investigating your water meter.

Now that we know there's a leak, the next step is to figure out whether the leak is coming from your water line vs. sewer line, or maybe an appliance. This can be checked by strategically shutting off valves and checking if the leak is still running, and/or by measuring the water pressure in different locations.

Finally, we need to find the cracked pipe or appliance. The most obvious way is through visual pipe inspection, such as checking the walls and floors for stains, but this doesn't work for every leak. If we suspect a leak but it's hidden from plain sight, we will use tools like a drain camera or ground microphone to find its location.

Once we know where the leak is, we're ready to stop it and fix it.


Repairs After Water Leak Detection

Now that we've finished Webster Groves, MO, water leak detection services, we'll get to work on repairs. Our expert plumbers can help with pipe repairs, water heater repairs, dishwasher repairs, and more. These align with the three broad types of leaks: Appliance leaks, pipe leaks, and water heater 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.

Different Types of Water Leak Repairs

Pipe leaks can occur in either water or sewer lines, and can be caused by wear, corrosion, or acute damage. Frozen lines are another common cause. Smaller leaks can sometimes be patched, but larger ones can require a partial pipe replacement.

Water heater repairs vary greatly depending on the nature of the water heater (gas vs. electric, tank vs. tankless, etc.). it's easy to get burned if you don't know what your doing, so always contact a professional plumber to handle these repairs.

Appliance repairs are hard to describe in detail, because one can be so different from another. For example, a refrigerator water line that's leaking might need to be taken out and replaced, while toilet repairs might require resealing and/or replacing the internals.

  1. Wet Spots on Your Floors
  2. Persistent Mold Odor
  3. Blistering or Peeling Wall Paint
  4. Unexplained High Water Bills
  5. Hairline Foundation Cracks

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

When dealing with a leak, you now have to decide what to do about it. Contacting a repairperson is an obvious step, but you can also take additional steps to pause the damage before it gets out of hand:

  2. Disable electricity near the leak (if safe).
  3. Take out any property that you can.
  4. Reach out to an expert.
  5. Take pictures of the damage.

Short and Long Term Effects of a Water Leak

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

Right away, you're looking at increased water bills combined with a waste of resources. Depending on the leak's location, your furniture could be ruined and need replacement.
