Unique Challenges in Leak Detection

The diverse range of housing, from older, historic homes to modern constructions, means that plumbing systems can vary substantially in terms of materials and layout. Older pipes, often made of less durable materials, may be more prone to leaks. Additionally, the local climate can affect plumbing, with temperature fluctuations potentially causing pipes to expand and contract, leading to leaks. Another challenge is the location of these leaks. Often hidden within walls, under floors, or buried in the garden, detecting them requires keen insight and the right tools. Without proper detection methods, these leaks can persist, causing structural damage, mold growth, and skyrocketing water bills.

Top Causes of Water Leaks in Homes

Having knowledge of the common causes of water leaks can help you prevent them. These are some of the top culprits:

  • Aging Plumbing: Over time, pipes corrode or deteriorate, especially in older homes.
  • High Water Pressure: Excessively high water pressure can stress pipes and fittings.
  • Tree Roots: Tree roots can infiltrate and damage underground pipes.
  • Corrosion: Depending on the water quality and pipe material, corrosion can lead to leaks.
  • Wear and Tear: Daily wear and tear, including from fixtures like faucets and toilets, can eventually lead to leaks.

Steps to Take When You Suspect a Leak

If you suspect a leak in your home, taking swift action is important. Here are the steps you can follow:

  • Check Your Water Meter: Turn off all water in your home and monitor the meter. If it continues to move, there's likely a leak.
  • Inspect Visible Plumbing: Look for signs of leaks in exposed pipes, under sinks, and around toilets.
  • Listen for Running Water: Unusual sounds of running water when all taps are off could indicate a leak.
  • Look for Damp Spots or Mold: Dampness or mold growth on walls, ceilings, or floors can signal hidden leaks.
  • Monitor Water Bills: An unexplained increase in your water bill can be a sign of a leak.

If you find evidence of a leak but can't locate it, it's time to call in professionals.

Leak Detection: DIY vs Professional Help

While some minor leaks can be detected and fixed by savvy homeowners, professional help is often needed, especially for hidden or complex leaks. Here's why:

  • Expertise and Experience: Professionals have the knowledge and experience to quickly identify and fix leaks, even in hard-to-reach places.
  • Advanced Technology: Professionals use advanced tools like acoustic detectors and infrared cameras to locate leaks without destructive methods.
  • Cost-Effective: Although there's an upfront cost, professional leak detection can save money in the long run by preventing extensive damage.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that a professional has thoroughly addressed the issue offers peace of mind.

DIY techniques can sometimes offer a temporary fix but won't likely address the root cause of the problem.

Our service technician, Chris,  showed up on time was professional and friendly.  I had a leak coming out of the bottom of the wall in the garage.  Chris was able to diagnose the leak quickly and take care of the problem.  He explained every step of the process.  Would highly recommend Speed Plumbing, Inc.

Unfortunately, High Speed plumbing was my 2nd call. The first guy to arrive said the whole toilet... seat and tank needed to be replaced, and it would cost $$$$. I believed it was the flapper valve, so I sent them on their way. Ron,  and his helper Jaime, arrived from High Speed... took a look, told me it's your flapper valve... and it'll cost $$. 10 minutes later they were done and gone. Solid, respectful, and professional!!!

Found a slab leak steaming from my garage near my water heater on a Thursday evening. Chris was on the job by 9:30 am on Friday. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional and took the time to include me in all that was doing. Cesar showed up midway through the job to lend Chris a hand and both gentlemen did FANTASTIC work! I will most definitely be calling them again for any future work I may need! Update: We had a second leak in a different area of the house on Sunday. Made a call and Ron came out to solve that problem efficiently and professionally. Can’t say enough the great work that team does over at High Speed Plumbing. So glad I made that initial call!

Called Juan at night about a gas leak the Gas Co, found that caused the Gas Co to red tag the meter and shut it off. Juan sent Christopher the next morning. He is a great guy with a great attitude and super professional skill. His ethics are high. High Speed I was told is a term used in military(veteran owned and staffed company) that denotes someone who is quick, resourceful and accurate at getting issues dealt with. By that standard Chris is definitely a "high speed" Thank you and may God Bless you and your Company  :-)

Same day service inspection and estimate was provided.  Service was offered same day, but we scheduled it to fit our convenience and they were very accommodating.   New tankless water heater installed and old water tank removed.  Roof venting work performed as well.  No complaints.  Happy to use them in the future.

John, Service Manager was very knowledgeable, professional and a very pleasant gentleman.  He assessed our plumbing issues and recommended that a restoration company come out and access the water damage due to ongoing toilet/piping issue from our upstairs restroom.  It's been running into our kitchen cabinet downstairs.  Luckily, our home insurance guy called while the John was still here.  John was able to give the Adjuster the information needed to have Service Master's come out tonight to assessment the water damage. I'm so grateful that John took the time to explain and show me the issues we were having. . John, you were truly heaven sent.  Your honesty and direction was much appreciated. Thank you.
