Common Areas for Water Leaks

Neglecting to repair a water leak can lead to larger repairs, resulting in more costs for you. Here are some of the more common areas where water leaks can occur:

  • Toilets: 

    Failing to repair a leak in your toilet can lead to floor damage. This is especially troublesome if the leak is on the second floor of a home or building.


  • Hose bibs: 

    When neglected, leaking hose bibs waste water and contribute to higher water bills.


  • Shower valves: 

    Leaky shower valves can result in wall damage.

Uncover and Resolve with Precision: Leaks Can Run, But They Can't Hide – Expert Leak Detection Solutions

Want to know if your Gilbert or Phoenix home has a leak?

Take a look at your water usage during a colder month, such as January or February. If a family of four exceeds 12,000 gallons per month, there might be a serious leak.

Check your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter changes at all, you probably have a leak. Identify toilet leaks by placing a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank. If any color shows up in the bowl after 15 minutes, you have a leak. (Be sure to flush immediately after the experiment to avoid staining the tank.)

Examine faucet gaskets and pipe fittings for any water on the outside of the pipe to check for surface leaks.

Signs and Symptoms of a Gilbert Slab Leak

If you hear the sound of running water without any explanation, especially in areas of your home where there are no plumbed appliances, it may be a sign that a slab leak lurks beneath your feet. You should also keep an eye on your water bills. Even what some may consider a “minor” slab leak will result in a considerable amount of wasted water and possible water damage. Spiking water bills with no discernible cause are another indicator that you may need slab leak repair services. Finally, damp spots on carpeting or even warm spots in your flooring can indicate the presence of a slab leak. Whatever suspicions you have, please do not ignore them. Left unchecked, slab leaks can result in a lot of water damage, wasted water and repairs.

Signs and Symptoms of a Gilbert Water Heater Leak

For most people, a leak is the first sign of an issue with your water heater. This may be something as small as a puddle forming near the water heater's base or something more visible, like water spraying out of a valve or a crack in the tank. A leaking water heater may seem like nothing more than an inconvenience to some, but it can actually be quite damaging. In fact, any resulting water damage can ring to the tune of around ten thousand dollars, if not more! So, it’s definitely something to pay attention to. This is why water heater leaks are no joke and should be taken seriously.

Other Consequences of Undetected Leaks

Damage from Burst Pipes and Leaks in Foundation

If you have cracks in walls or floors or a tilting chimney, you may know these are signs of a problem with the foundation. But many people don’t realize that difficulty opening and closing doors and windows can also be early signs that your home is shifting. Whether you have a new home or an old one, foundation problems often require major repairs. Foundation problems can be caused by the type of soil the house is built on, an improperly laid foundation, or drainage problems. Whatever the cause, a bad foundation is bad news and, depending on the severity of the problem, can cost quite a bit.

Mold

Water damage caused by your home’s plumbing system is not only unhealthy but expensive, too. Be it a burst pipe or leaky hot water heater and/or other appliance, the end result is the same. And it can cause a lot of damage, even though you may not notice it right away. After something like this, it’s important to dry out your home. If you don’t, mold can thrive.

Water Damage

If your home has experienced some type of burst pipe/leak, major or minor, this isn’t something you can ignore. Beyond the possibility of mold, long-term water damage can cause rot, leading to all kinds of expensive repairs to the structure of your home. It’s difficult to estimate the cost of this type of burst pipe repair, but it can easily run into the thousands depending on how much drywall, flooring, or wood needs to be replaced and how intrusive the repairs are.
