How to Spot a Leak in Your Home

Plumbing leaks can be tricky to find, especially if they are hidden. The first sign of a leak may be a high water bill. However, a high bill may be the result of other issues, such as a running toilet. Other signs of a leak include a musty odor, mold or mildew growth, or a sound of running water when all the faucets are turned off.

Leak Detection with the Latest Technology

When you have a leak, it is important to find the source of the problem before the repair is performed. Locating a leak is a job for a professional plumber with specialized training and the right equipment. Our plumbers are equipped with the latest technology for leak detection and repair in Chula Vista.

We use advanced technology for leak detection, including:

• Video camera inspection – A flexible rod with a high-resolution camera is inserted into the pipe to see inside and find the location of the leak
• Electronic leak detection – The electronic leak detection equipment is used to find leaks in underground pipes
• Thermal imaging cameras – These cameras are used to detect temperature changes that can indicate the location of a leak

Once we locate the leak, we can explain the problem and discuss the options for repair. We offer honest and accurate advice about the best repair options for your plumbing system. Our plumbers are experienced and can handle any leak repair, from a minor drip to a major leak.

Preventing Slab Leaks

Slab leaks occur when a pipe in the foundation of the home develops a leak. This can cause a range of problems from moisture damage to the foundation to mold and mildew growth. Since slab leaks are difficult to find, it is important to know the signs of a problem and act quickly.

Common signs of a slab leak include:

• Hot spots on the floor
• Unexplained mold or mildew growth
• Cracks or damage to the foundation
• Low water pressure
• Water pooling on the floor
• Higher than average water bill

Slab leaks can be prevented by keeping the soil around the foundation properly watered to prevent the soil from shrinking and causing the pipes to crack. It is also important to avoid using harsh chemicals to clean the drains and have your drains professionally cleaned to prevent clogs and leaks.
