Expert Leak Detection Services in Olympia, WA
Water leaks are extremely common in Washington homes, especially in houses that are at least three decades old. While some leaks are easy to spot and repair, others are so small that they're tough to locate.
If you think you have a water leak in your home, but don't know for certain, give us a call at Brooks Plumbing Co. We use the latest technology and tools to detect even the most minute leaks in your pipes!
The Most Common Places for Plumbing Leaks
While you can have a leak anywhere within your plumbing system, certain areas are more prone to issues than others.
- Joints where pipes connect together
- Sections of pipe that see more water flow than others
- Inside of toilets and sinks
- The pipes directly above your water heater
- In older sections of pipe made of galvanized steel, cast iron, or copper
Although these are the first areas we'll check for leaks, we won't stop there. If we can't find the leak in an obvious area, we'll proceed to other parts of your plumbing system.
Our Leak Detection Methods
At Brooks Plumbing Co., we take great pride in our abilities to locate any leak. In addition to having expert plumbers with excellent eyes for leak detection, we also use many tools and technologies to find leaks invisible to the naked eye:
- Guided video cameras - Similar to how doctors perform image-guided surgery, we send tiny cameras through your water pipes and drain lines.
- Acoustic methods - We also use acoustics to listen for the characteristic noise that a leaking pipe makes.
- Infrared cameras - In some cases, we may even break out our infrared cameras to check for temperature differences around water pipes.
Ultimately, we'll do whatever it takes to find the leaky culprit in your home and repair it in a timely manner.
