Signs You May Have a Plumbing Leak 

Some plumbing leaks are not hard to find. You may see water dripping from pipes under your sink or notice water pooling on the floor around a toilet. However, other leaks can remain hidden for a long time and potentially cause water damage. 

You should be diligent in watching for signs of trouble, such as the following:

  • Unexplained increase in water bills 
  • Sounds of running water when no faucets are on 
  • Musty or moldy smells in your home or business 
  • Visible stains on walls, ceilings, or floors 

If you suspect a leak, do not hesitate to call us for leak detection and repair in Newport.

What Causes Plumbing Leaks? 

Leaks can occur in any type of plumbing, from water supply lines to drainage pipes. They can result from age, wear, or improper installation. Additionally, corrosion, rust, and tree root intrusions are often the culprits of leaks.  

How Do Plumbers Detect Leaks? 

We have numerous tools at our disposal for locating leaks. The right tool will depend on your plumbing system and the issues that have caused you to suspect a leak. 

Methods we may use include the following:

  • Visual inspection: This is the most basic method, where we simply look for visible signs of leaks, such as water stains, discoloration, or wet spots on walls, ceilings, or floors. 
  • Pressure test: Our team can pressurize your plumbing system and check for pressure drops, indicating a leak. 
  • Acoustic leak detection: Using sensitive listening devices like electronic amplifiers or ground microphones, we can pinpoint the sound of leaking water underground or behind walls. 
  • Dye testing: Our team can inject a colored dye into the plumbing system to trace the water flow and find the source of a leak. 
  • Thermal imaging: This method employs infrared technology to identify temperature differences stemming from leaks hidden behind walls or under floors. 

Long-Lasting Leak Repairs 

Once we have located a leak, our team can outline repair options. We use only high-quality plumbing parts and materials to ensure reliable fixes. For certain stubborn leaks that require more extensive repairs, we may suggest repiping. Whatever the case, you can count on our team to provide honest advice that serves your best interests.
