The benefits of leak detection

Work in and around the house, especially in summertime, can drive up the costs of your water utility bill. While most people accept this increase in costs as just another part of home ownership one should be careful not to let an errant leak in your water system drive up costs unnecessarily.

Many home owners are quick to react to the usual suspects when it comes to water leaks. Faulty toilets, dripping faucets or problems with he irrigation system are dealt with quickly and expediently. The real problem lies with other less obvious leaks, leaks that can send a substantial amount of water and money literally down the drain.

If for instance the indicator on your water meter is running when you know there has been no water usage inside the house it may be that you may have a pressurized leak underground between the meter and your home.

If your inspection doesn’t turn up an obvious leak source, you’ll need to call in a leak specialist who can employ electronic leak detection technology to locate, and fix, the leak at its source.

Homeowners with swimming pools face additional possible sources of water leaks that can be very costly over the course of a few months. Pool owners should use the spring season to prep their pool for summer fun by clearing the pool of leaves and other debris and checking the filtration system.

Detecting a leak accurately prevents the costly exercise of digging up the entire driveway or kitchen floor in order to locate a concealed leak. Considering the cost to repair the unnecessary breaking up of tiles, concrete, paving, it just make sense to call out the professionals to accurately point out the location of the leak.
