Homes built since the late 1960s with soft copper pipe water systems are particularly vulnerable to pinpoint leaks regardless of age.

    Leaks can be triggered by anything from pipe corrosion to a sudden change in weather. Although the pipes in older homes are more vulnerable to leaks, newer pipes can develop leaks just as easily. Corrosion, ground movement, and poor construction can all set the stage for leaks.

    The Leak Detection Technology
    Difference

    Leak detection is the process of identifying a water source and specifically finding the point at which water is leaving the confinement of your water pipes. This could be almost anywhere, although the most common areas for water loss or leaks is in the joints of pipes.

    Don’t worry, though, we don’t need to tear down the walls of your house just to find which pipe is leaking the most or shows signs of moisture. Our plumbers are equipped with the latest technology in our industry to facilitate the process of leak detection.

    Specifically this includes using infrared devices to detect temperature differences through walls, which many times indicates a water source. We also use humidity detector devices to find areas that have lots of moisture in the air, another big indicator of a leak source. Make sure any professional plumber or leak detection specialist is equipped with these items when identifying a leak in your house, otherwise you are risking unnecessary damage to your home by tearing apart walls and ceiling.

    common types of residential water leaks

    Many possibilities exist for the source of a water leak, thus why it is necessary to use a leak detection plumber with some experience in the field. They not only have the right equipment but also are aware of the many common leak possibilities below.

    pinhole leaks

    Pinhole leaks are tiny leaks in the water pipes that can appear anywhere – corroded pipes usually cause this type of leak. Pinhole leaks encourage the growth of mold and can damage your drywall. Leaks can also appear in the pipes underneath the concrete foundation of your home. If your water bill is increasing and you notice cracks or mildew on your walls, ceiling or floor, a leak is probably to blame.

    Another very common type of leak is a pipe that burst in your ceiling, walls, or floor. It could be a small crack in a pipe joint, or even a major hole in the pipe caused by extreme temperature changes and pressure. Especially in colder areas, it is very common for pipes to freeze over, storing solid ice inside of them. This water expands during the process of freezing, causing immense amounts of pressure and enough to actually fracture metal pipes.

    Even if your pipe has not burst due to cold weather, it is also very possible to simply have a crack in the pipe or a joint that isn’t completely sealed. The tiniest amount of water exiting a pipe will seep down the line, dripping onto drywall or wood, permanently damaging it. Even the tiniest amount of moisture can cause damage so any type of pipe leak is a serious problem that must be found and fixed immediately.
