For homes with leaks in their plumbing or sewer lines, finding the source of the leak is the first step to repairing it. Leaks are often hard to find without using special tools as water may drip from a pipe far from the leak source. Our plumbers here at Pipetechs Plumbing use the industry-standard smoke leak-detection system, which uses smoke to pinpoint the exact location in the pipes where water or sewer gas may escape. Once we know where the leaks are, we can fix them to restore the plumbing and drainage system back to full operation. See what our past customers have to say about our services here!

What Causes Leaks?

There are many causes of plumbing or sewer pipe leaks. Tree roots growing through sewer pipes commonly causes leaks in those areas, but indoors, the pipes may be old and begin leaking. While some water leaks can start slowly, at some point, they will result in substantial water damage to your home. Our plumbers at Pipetechs Plumbing will thoroughly inspect the pipes to determine the real source of the leak and remedy it as soon as possible to prevent many of these water leak damage situations.

How Can A Leak Affect Your Home?

Plumbing and sewer leaks can result in very serious issues for your home. Plumbing leaks can cost you hundreds of dollars extra on your monthly water bill, and serious leaks can do structural damage to your property. In some cases, if a leak goes undetected for too long, it will create wet spots where mold can grow. This mold may be a problem for those in your home with allergies. Sewer leaks also pose a serious hazard to the people in your property including family and friends. The rotten egg smell from the leaking sewer gas can be dangerous. Hydrogen sulfide and methane are two gases that may be present in leaking sewer gas. These can both be deadly either through inhalation or from an explosion. If you smell leaking sewer gas, leave your home and contact us at Pipetechs Plumbing to safely find and repair the leak to make your home safe again.

How Are Smoke Leak-Detection Services Performed?

Our expert plumbers use smoke leak-detection services to find leaks in your plumbing in a non invasive fashion. Smoke leak detections are performed by feeding smoke through the pipes, which will seep out through any holes that may be present in the plumbing. The smoke used is safe, non-toxic, and artificially produced. By using smoke, our plumbers can find exactly where they need to repair your leaky pipes or sewer lines.
