Worried that you may have a leak? Whether it’s the incessant dripping of an unseen pipe, strange smells, mold, or changes in pressure, there are some clear signs you may have a pipe leak somewhere in your home:
- Water stains: Look out for stains around fixtures and fittings, as well as ceilings, floors, and closets.
- A dripping sound: You can’t always see the leak, but you may be able to hear it. Listen for that telltale dripping sound, and don’t worry if you can’t track it down, as our technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to quickly locate the source.
- Changes in your water bill: An unexplained spike in your water bill could mean you’re losing a lot of water somewhere.
- Mold: Leaks that go undetected for a long time usually produce extensive water damage, and all of that moisture attracts mold. Check for black spots and musty smells around your property.
- Low water pressure: Leaks can significantly reduce your water pressure—if you’ve recently experienced a drop in pressure, contact Mr. Rooter®.
- Rust and dripping: The most obvious signs of leaking pipes are when you can actually see the pipe dripping. Alternatively, you may notice water on or around the pipe, as well as visible signs of rust.
Our Leak Detection Process
Mr. Rooter® technicians use a series of steps to locate, diagnose, and repair your leak, and they’re also equipped with state-of-the-art supplies to ensure this process runs smoothly.
To start, non-invasive leak detection tools locate the source of the leak, with thermal imaging helping us detect slab leaks. We can then snake cameras into the drain to check for interior pipe damage before discussing the best solution with you, including spot repair, fixture replacements, or re-piping.
We’re not there to do the job and then bill you afterward. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way, telling you why certain methods are recommended, what benefits they will provide, and how much the repair will cost.
You only pay what you see, with competitive quotes, no nasty surprises, and work that’s fully backed by the Neighborly Done Right Promise®.
Preventing Future Pipe Leaks
To prevent pipe leaks in the future, schedule annual plumbing inspections where an expert can inspect your pipes and recommend repairs and alterations. Most homes in Norfolk, VA, don’t have hard water, but if you do, use water softeners to reduce mineral buildup.
Finally, watch out for the signs of leaking pipes, including dripping, strange noises, water damage, and an unexplained increase in your water bill.
