When signs of leaks occur, you can rely on our expert plumbers at Erica's Plumbing, Air Conditioning & Restoration for leak detection in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Slab leaks are among the most challenging to pinpoint because they occur under the foundation. Pipe leaks in walls and under flooring can also be challenging to find without the proper knowledge and tools. We use many types of equipment for water leak detection and can find the cause of your leaks and repair them.
"Excellent service! Reasonable price. The customer service representative and the dispatcher were sympathetic to our problem. They sent Dakota, the service technician, out right away. He fixed the problem in a matter of minutes and he checked the other pipes to make sure everything was working well. Great job! I would definitely recommend Erica’s Plumbing to others."- Donna B.
The water lines under your home are likely PEX or copper. These pipes carry clean water into or wastewater out of your home. Many issues can lead to leaks in these pipes, including improper installations, shifting foundations, and tree root invasion. In addition to water leaks, your home can also suffer gas leaks, which can be dangerous. Our plumbers are also great at gas line leak detection services. They will find the source of a gas leak and stop the flow so your home and family are safe.
Water leak detection is a complex process involving thermal imaging, digital detectors, and video cameras. Thermal imaging uses a camera that detects temperature changes, allowing us to find leaks behind walls and under flooring. Digital water leak detectors use a unique amplifier to identify the sounds of leaks, such as hissing or dripping. These digital devices allow us to find leaks without tearing down flooring or walls. Video cameras are also valuable tools because they go down pipes to locate the source of leaks and determine if there are damaged pipes.
Gas line leak detection requires specialized equipment, such as electronic detectors, that measure the gas concentration in the air. These detectors work on visible and accessible lines. If you suspect a leak, we advise you to shut off the gas to your home only if it is safe. It is also critical to evacuate until repairs by our plumbers are completed.
The following are common signs of water leaks:
Sudden water bill increases
Unexplained hot spots on flooring
Wet spots or water stains on ceilings, floors, and walls
Peeling paint or warped drywall
Sounds of running water
You also need to know the warning signs of gas leaks, including hissing, rotten egg smells, and significant increases in your gas bill. Other signs include unusual mist or clouds around the gas meter or dirt blowing out from a hole in the ground.
