Leak detection can start with you

You don't need to hear the dripping sound of water or have your water bills spike on you to keep on eye on places in your home susceptible to water leaks; there are a few simple techniques you can adopt to stay on top of the issue and have a head start when you need to phone an Atlanta plumber to come in and fix the problem.

Remember that water leaks often occur in places where water consuming appliances are located or where there’s plumbing you can’t see or behind the walls. So, you can start looking for leaks in the bathroom or shower area and it's good to start with a shower head or faucet. Quite often you can take apart a leaking shower head and clean it because mineral deposits have clogged it up, but older fixtures should be replaced with newer ones. Not only will these stop your leak problems but they also increase the equity that you have in your house. The sound of running water from behind walls or under your feet generally means you’ve got a bigger issue that will require an Atlanta plumbing service.
