Leak Detection Services

One of the most common signs of a leak is an increase in your water bill. If your bill states your water usage has increased, but do not feel that you have used more water, you need to check for a leak. Even if you don’t see any obvious signs of a leak, it’s prudent to Call a Reliant Plumber. We offer state-of-the-art plumbing camera inspections, along with whole house leak detection checks. This combination enables us to detect even the smallest leaks on your sewer pipes and domestic water lines.

If your plumbing is installed properly and in working order, you shouldn’t hear running water unless a faucet is running. But if you have a leak, you can sometimes hear the sound of running water in walls or under the floor. This is a sign of a problematic leak and you should Call Reliant Plumbing as soon as possible. Running water in the floor or walls could be a much more serious problem such as a slab leak.

Some homeowners notice unexplainable wet spots or damp areas of their carpet when they have a leak. You may even notice the wet spot is there for a period, dries up and then reappears again. This is a sign you have a pressure leak on your sewer system that only occurs when a particular fixture is in use. If there is a consistent water spot on the floor, this indicates a domestic water line leak.

In some situations, a wet spot on the floor near a bathroom could indicate a leak in your bathtub or shower surround rather than pipes. In any case, you’ll need to work with our licensed plumbers to identify the root cause and make repairs.

There are many causes of mold in homes, but the presence of water and high humidity creates conditions where mold thrives. If you notice darker spots on your walls and ceiling, it’s a good sign you need our leak detection services. If you rule out a plumbing leak, you can move onto other potential causes of mold. For example, your HVAC could be malfunctioning and dripping onto the ceiling below. There is also a very real possibility that you have an exterior hole in your roof allowing rain water to flow into the home or business.

In rare occasions, you may have mold or other biological growth growing behind drywall or in areas that aren’t visible. Mold can create musty odors. If you notice a persistent musty odor that doesn’t go away, it’s time to give us a call.

Has your dog or cat found a new favorite spot to lounge on the floor? Homeowners are often surprised to hear that this can actually be a big red flag for a leak. Hot water slab leaks can create noticeable warm spots on your floor. Pets are often drawn to these warmer areas, but you may also notice them when walking barefoot. Be sure to Call Reliant Plumbing right away if you notice a new hot spot on the floor. Slab leaks can cause serious damage and cost you hundreds of dollars in water bills.
