Leak Detection & Repair

Leaks often stem from an aging plumbing system, especially those using polybutylene pipes, which are known to leak. Common causes include corrosion, deteriorating supply lines, and minor foundational shifts. One of the main culprits is damaged or improperly installed pipe joints, often hidden from view but detectable by the following signs:

• Discolored paint.
• Banging noises when hot water is turned on.
• Musty odors.
• Damp interior spots.

Toilet leaks are usually slow and go unnoticed until they cause a spike in your water bill. Water may trickle continuously from the tank into the bowl due to issues like a faulty flapper valve, a malfunctioning fill valve, or a deteriorated wax seal at the base. While these leaks may seem minor, they can lead to larger problems if ignored.​​​​​​

Dripping faucets and fixtures are a common source of water waste in many homes. These leaks are usually caused by worn-out seals such as O-rings or washers. Fixture connected to appliances like dishwashers and washing machines are also vulnerable as their rubber seals can degrade over time. Regular inspections and seal replacement can help prevent unexpected leaks.

Water heaters don’t last forever, with the average water heater lifespan in the US being between 8 to 12 years. While investing in a high-quality water heater may extend its life, routine preventative maintenance is key. Have you noticed a drop in your hot water temperature? This may be a sign of a failing water heater. Leaks from a water heater are considered a plumbing emergency and require immediate attention.

Household appliances that use water, such as washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators with ice makers, can develop leaks over time due to worn-out or damaged supply lines.
