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.
Winters coming get your plumbing ready
With the weather getting colder its time to check your plumbing. Make sure to drain all your
outside hose bibbs by turning the shut off valve off inside your house and then open the outside
hose bibb to drain the water out. now your ready for the winter.
