Signature Plumbing's Maryland Heights, MO, Water Leak Detection Services

Maryland Heights, MO, water leak detection services can vary widely in scope due to the variety in plumbing and home types. Different detection methods are used to verify that there is a leak, figure out what pipe or appliance is leaking, and find the origin of the leak.

Before finding the leak, especially for hidden leaks, we'll spend time ensuring that there isn't a different plumbing problem that's actually causing the issue. Normally, this means looking for puddles, listening for drips, and looking for constantly running water at the meter.

After that, we generally want to verify whether the leak is coming from 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 we've identified the system, we need to find the cracked pipe or appliance. The most obvious way is through visual pipe inspection, such as a scan of the building for wet spots, some leaks won't have many visual indicators. If we suspect a leak but it's not in a visible location, we will decide between equipment like a drain camera or ground microphone to pin it down.

Once the leak is located, we're ready to stop it and patch it.
