If you suspect a water leak in your home, it’s crucial to act quickly to prevent extensive damage and costly repairs. But what if the leak is hidden underground or within your walls? Fortunately, the expert plumbers at Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning have the tools and expertise to accurately detect and locate leaks, even in the most challenging situations.
The Importance of Early Leak Detection
Water leaks, whether underground or within walls, can cause significant damage to your home if left unchecked. Some of the consequences of undetected leaks include:
- Structural damage to your home’s foundation
- Mold and mildew growth, which can pose health risks
- Increased water bills due to wasted water
- Decreased water pressure throughout your home
By detecting leaks early, you can minimize damage and save money on repairs in the long run.
How Radiant Plumbers Detect Leaks
At Radiant, our skilled plumbers use state-of-the-art technology and proven techniques to detect and locate leaks with precision. Some of the methods we employ include:
Acoustic Leak Detection
Our plumbers use specialized listening devices to detect the sound of water escaping from pipes. These devices amplify the sound of leaks, allowing us to pinpoint their location even when they’re hidden behind walls or underground.
Infrared Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging cameras detect temperature differences in surfaces, which can indicate the presence of a leak. Our plumbers use these cameras to scan walls, floors, and ceilings for signs of moisture, helping us locate leaks quickly and efficiently.
Tracer Gas Leak Detection
For hard-to-find leaks, our plumbers may use tracer gas, a harmless, odorless gas that is pumped into your plumbing system. We then use a sensitive gas detector to locate where the gas is escaping, revealing the location of the leak.
Video Camera Inspection
To visually inspect your pipes for leaks, our plumbers use small, flexible video cameras that can navigate through your plumbing system. This allows us to see inside your pipes and identify the exact location and cause of the leak.
