What Causes Leaks That Require Plumbing Leak Detection and Repair?
A pipe leak can occur for various reasons. Many of these are beyond your control and can only be addressed by a plumbing professional.
Most pipes are designed to handle a maximum amount of pressure; if it’s too high, the force of the water can strain the pipe walls until they burst.
Rust and other corrosion forms with age; this is visible through discoloration or warping of pipes. Older, worn pipes should be replaced with newer, more resilient materials.
Pipe connectors have seals that can wear out over time, which can create leak points that put further strain on your plumbing system.
The connections between your pipes are often the weakest spots; a bad pipe joint can cause leaks and ticking or banging noises, especially when the hot water is on.
Excess force, movement, or normal wear and tear can lead to cracks that become weak points for water to escape from.
Rapid freezing and re-heating causes the pipe to expand and contract, which in turn can cause it to crack.
Water leaks often start outside underground pipes; tree roots growing towards water sources can break through and clog pipes, which can lead to plumbing problems and wet patches or sink-holes in your yard.

Plumbing Leak Detection FAQs
Will plumbing leak detection and repair damage my walls or floors?
By using advanced technology, we eliminate "exploratory" demolition. In the past, plumbers had to tear out drywall or jackhammer concrete just to find the source. Today, our electronic equipment identifies the leak’s location within inches. This means any necessary repairs are highly localized, often requiring only a single small patch rather than a major renovation.
