Leak Detection

Though leaks in your home or commercial property may be silent, they can be dangerous to the structure of your building. They generally start off small and are simple fixes. However, left untreated, they can lead to costly and extensive damage down the road. 

What To Know About Leaks:

What starts off as a little leak can lead to corrosion over prolonged periods. Stopping a leak quickly is crucial to preventing this from happening. Double L Plumbing has the knowledge and experience to minimize the damage leaky pipes may cause.

• Washing machines
• Gas lines
• Main water lines
• Sewer lines

The Dangers of Leaks

What may initially seem harmless can, in actuality, be quite dangerous. With electrical wires and gas lines throughout your home, it’s important that the pipes—and the water and gas that run through them—stay where they belong. A small leak in the wrong place can be a major problem and hazardous to you and your family’s health. Gas line leaks often result in a “rotten egg odor.” If you suspect a leak of this nature, you should contact a plumbing expert immediately.

Signs Of Leaks

Leaks are not always easily detectable. Toilets, faucets, and other exposed leaks can be spotted with a quick glance. However, many leaks that exist in a home are out of the line of sight or are located in hard to reach or see areas. Most leaks require a professional with the right tools and equipment to correctly identify leaks and provide the appropriate plumbing solution.

Common signs of leaks include:

• Squeaky or firm faucet
• Rust or puddles around fixtures or appliances
• Unexpectedly higher water bills
• Moldy or musty odors
• Dripping sounds
• Running toilets
