Plumbing in Atlanta leak detection finds the problems you can’t

What happens when you get a water bill that’s so high, you think there’s been a mistake at the utility company? You call the office and when they tell you that everything is fine at their end, you need to hire your local plumbing in Atlanta professional for their leak detection services.

 
These experts can get behind the walls or under the house, down past the sewer line to the water services with video surveillance equipment to find the problem. Sagging pipes that have breached can often be the problem, or even a tree root that’s grown through the lines looking for moisture. Still, it all comes down to the average homeowner knowing there’s more of an issue than just a leaky faucet. Here’s a few red flags that will tell you the problem needs expert attention.

 
Turn all the taps off in your home and then check the water meter. If the indicator is still spinning and there’s no other plausible problem, there’s a leak in the pipes either behind the walls or under your home. Of course, if you hear the sound of rushing water from behind the walls when all the appliances are turned off, you’ve got an emergency situation on your hands.
