Plumber Leak Detection Hillsdale, NJ

The Leak Detection Process

Hidden leaks can cost you hundreds of dollars a year as each extra drip raises your water bill. Beyond the increase in bills, the damage that leaks can cause to your property can be substantial.

One of the first things you can do to detect a hidden leak is to pay attention to your water bill. If you can, turn off all the water in your home at every source. Then check your water meter. If it shows evidence of water flow, you’ll know there is a leak somewhere. Finding where can be a problem, however. You need a plumber to answer that question.

Bring in the Experts

Once you’re reasonably sure there is a hidden leak, call in the experts. Gladiator Services’ professional plumbers have the experience and equipment to track down the leak. To find a hidden leak, professional plumbers use leak detection equipment, including:

• Acoustic listening devices, such as ground microphones or listening discs
• Acoustic amplifiers to make leaks sound louder
• Plumbing cameras and video inspection
• Thermal imaging

Once we pinpoint the leak, the next step will be the repair. Contact us today to learn more about our repair process.

Hidden Leak Repair

Depending on the location of the leak, it may entail a minor repair or a major replacement. A slow leak from a loose pipe or valve is fixed by tightening, while leaks from aging pipes will require replacing the pipes and connectors.

The damage caused by a leak can often be more severe than the leak itself, so catching leaks early will help minimize the repair needed.

Leak Prevention Strategies

The best way to prevent leaks, both visible and hidden, is to take care of your plumbing with an annual plumbing inspection. A professional plumber from Gladiator Services will inspect your entire plumbing system, look for weak points that could become problems, and help you plan for repairs and replacements to keep your system running smoothly for years to come.
