At some point during home ownership or occupying a property, hidden plumbing leaks may strike and catch you unawares, bringing considerable disruption and involving costs and time spent. This is especially true if leaks are ignored or go undetected. In most cases, water damage builds up over a period of time before it becomes apparent. If you detect or even suspect that your home or business is experiencing a leak behind the scenes, the best policy is to get in touch with a professional plumbing company like No1PHD. Trying to tackle the problem on your own might not solve the issue satisfactorily and could cost you more in time, energy and money in the long run. Here is a deeper look at the problem of hidden plumbing leaks and why our professionals are best at solving them.
There are usually tell-tale signs that you have a leak problem, such as musty odours and, in some cases, mildew or mould. Also, water stains, water damage to floors or damage to walls may appear. As professional plumbers, No1PHD knows their subject when it comes to pipework, heating systems and hot water systems. They can spot the initial signs of a leak, then use the best detection methods. These are usually minimally invasive to diagnose the issue and give you a quote to get the ball rolling. Once you know the scope of the work and the required budget, you can plan and schedule the job with No1PHD.
Leaks that go on in the background can quickly end up costing a lot of money in a short space of time. Not only will water bills rise, but costs related to damage from the leaks will be extensive as water continues to escape within your property without being repaired. Although you can take a few simple steps on your own to try to detect a leak such as checking your water meter and looking for visible signs of damage, unless you have an intimate knowledge of your pipework system, full investigatory measures are beyond the whit of most non-professional DIY-ers. So, how will you know exactly where the leak is and how to fix it? A plumber from No1PHD can be the answer to your issues.
For all plumbing services and especially leaks, it’s always best to hire a professional who has the right equipment to locate the source of the problem. The type of equipment that plumbers use will help you to maximise your repairs budget. But you might be wondering: “How can plumbers find hidden leaks without breaking into the walls or pulling up floorboards?”
Plumbers possess the right detection equipment to accurately trace leaks to the source in the minimum time. This is even the case for water escaping from under concrete, plasterwork or behind walls. For example, plumbers use:
Our plumbers use the detection equipment mentioned above to quickly locate plumbing leaks. Non-professions will probably have difficulty finding a leak on their own without these sophisticated means.
