Leak Detection & Repair Niagara Falls

Professional Leak Detection in Niagara Falls

Leaky pipes can destroy your property in a manner that is difficult to detect until it is too late. Leaks that are found in pipes located behind walls and under concrete slabs cause very high utility bills, deteriorated structures and mould infestations. Our company will locate and repair these types of leaks in your property.

Signs You May Have a Hidden Water Leak

All problems related to the plumbing system will definitely provide hints about their existence. Identifying them beforehand will help to prevent future expenses and emergencies.

Abnormally High Water Bills: Unexpectedly high bills will show that there is an invisible water supply taking place on your property.
Dark Spots and Discoloration: The appearance of dark spots on walls, peeling paint or bulging walls are indications of continuous exposure of those surfaces to water.
Sudden Reduction in Water Pressure: A sudden reduction in the water pressure means there is water leakage from the broken pipe lines.
Musty Odors: The damp smell in the basement or even under the cabinets means that there is some water present.
Running Water Sounds: Listening to running water sounds without using any taps or appliances shows that there is a leak.

Our Leak Detection Services

Our team utilizes highly advanced methods to pinpoint the location of the pipe leakages without having to tear open your walls and floors.

Acoustic Leak Detection: Acoustic sensors and ground microphones sense the sound frequency produced by the leaky water underground or behind the wall.
Thermal Imaging Inspection: The infrared camera senses the temperature difference to detect any moisture formation behind an object that is not visible to the naked eye.

Plumber using acoustic equipment for leak detection

Video Pipe Inspection: HD cameras inspect the plumbing pipelines for any interior cracks, tree root intrusions, and joint separation.
Pressure Testing: Pressure testing checks the system pressure of the plumbing to isolate and find out if there is leakage in closed plumbing pipes.
Leakage from Slab Detection: Special tracking systems track the underground piping system behind the concrete slab to accurately pinpoint the location of the leakage.

Common Causes of Plumbing Leaks

Knowing the reasons why pipes get damaged will enable you to manage your plumbing system efficiently and avoid any future problems.

Aging and Corrosion of Pipes: Aging is a natural phenomenon, and aging results in pipes being affected and causing their corrosion and thinning.
Temperature Variation: There is variation in temperature in the region of Niagara Falls during winter, where there are extremes of temperature that cause freezing and thawing of the water causing the pipes to burst.
High Water Pressure: Pipes with high water pressure are stressed due to the joints and valves.
Tree Roots: Tree roots search for moisture underground and go through the sewer and water pipes to make cracks and obstructions.
Shifting Soil: The movement of the soil naturally puts structural tension on the pipes and causes misalignments and cracks.

FAQs

What could cause my water bill to go up when I haven’t changed the way I use water?
An unexpected rise in your bill most likely indicates that water is running at all times due to a concealed leak. Any leak, such as a pinhole on a major line or even on a toilet running line may result in the loss of many litres of water in a month. In case your usage hasn’t changed, an expert leak detection service will be able to find the leak for you.
How do you detect a leak that is inside a wall or underneath a concrete floor without having to dig it out?
We rely on acoustic equipment, thermal imaging equipment, and pipe camera inspection tools. These advanced systems enable us to detect the sound produced and temperature changes as a result of leaking water.
How can such a small slow trickle of water affect my home’s foundation?
Yes, because in due course of time, constant dripping of water weakens the foundation of concrete, causes washing away of the base soil beneath the slab, and causes cracks within. Also, moisture results in the growth of mould behind drywall and rotting of wood framing.
What should I do right now if I feel there’s a big water leak problem in my home?
In such a case, you need to first go and find the main water shut-off valve and turn it off to stop water flow in your home. Secondly, open all the low taps in your home to drain out the excess water from the pipes.
What are the costs for professional leak detection in Niagara Falls?
This depends on how deep or complex your plumbing system is; however, the cost of non-invasive leak detection will always be less than guesswork and tearing down walls. We will offer you transparent costs before we begin any diagnostics or repairs.
