How We Handle Water Leak Detection in Olivette, MO

Before finding the leak, we'll check that the symptoms are consistent with a leak. Typically this means looking for visible water pools, listening for drips, and checking if your water meter is running nonstop.

Now that we know there's a leak, the next step is to verify whether the leak is in 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 leak itself. The most obvious way is through visual pipe inspection, such as a scan of the building for wet spots, but this doesn't work for every leak. If we're confident that there's a leak but it's not in a visible location, we will decide between equipment like a drain camera or ground microphone to find its location.
