Listening and pressure tests
Listening gear picks up the hiss of water escaping a pipe, and a pressure test shows whether a line holds. Using both narrows the search to a short stretch.
A leak leaves clues, such as a damp patch, a warm spot underfoot or running water heard in a quiet house.
Leak tracing for Westminster and the surrounding cities we serve covers water that shows up in a wall, a floor or the yard.
Listening gear picks up the hiss of water escaping a pipe, and a pressure test shows whether a line holds. Using both narrows the search to a short stretch.
A line under a concrete floor is reached by cutting a small opening above it. The plumber repairs the pipe, and the floor is patched afterward.
After a failed line under the slab, a reroute through the walls or the attic avoids breaking the concrete a second time.
The water line that runs into the house can leak between the street and the wall. Tracing it by sound and pressure shows where it needs to be dug up.
A water bill that climbs, a musty smell, warm floor spots and low pressure at the tap can each point to a leak. One sign is reason enough to call.
We explain the repair before it starts, including what gets opened, what gets patched and whether a reroute fits better than a spot repair.
