Effective Methods for Detecting Hidden Plumbing Leaks

Our licensed, insured, and experienced team of plumbers has multiple leak detection methods at its disposal. They can employ one or more of them to precisely identify the location of a leak. 

 Below, we have described a few detection methods and how they work:

  • Checking the Water Meter: This method involves turning off all plumbing fixtures and looking for changes in a building’s water use. This method does not locate leaks but confirms they exist.
  • Visual Inspection: We have been in business since 2008 and have the know-how to show for it. Our team knows where to look for leaks and can often get a good idea of the scope of the issue just from an initial visual inspection.
  • Sewer Cameras: Advanced camera technologies can provide video of cracks or damage in sewer or water lines that allow them to leak.
  • Acoustic Detection: Listening devices can pinpoint the exact location of leaks by capturing the sounds they make.
  • Thermal Imaging: Leaks cause temperature variations that a thermal imaging camera can pick up. This method is especially useful when an area is too noisy for acoustic detection.
  • Pressure Testing: Pressurizing pipes and monitoring for pressure drops is a common leak detection method.

Frequently Asked Questions About Leak Detection

Why is it important to detect and repair leaks?

Detecting and repairing leaks is important because even a small leak can quickly become a major problem. Leaks can cause damage to the structure of a building, promote the growth of mold and mildew, and waste a significant amount of water.

What is a water meter check?

A water meter check involves turning off all plumbing fixtures and monitoring the water meter to look for changes in water use. This method helps confirm the presence of a leak but does not locate the exact location.

What is visual inspection?

Visual inspection is a method used by experienced plumbers to identify leaks. They know where to look for signs of leaks and can often get an idea of the scope of the issue just from an initial visual inspection.

How do sewer cameras help in leak detection?

Sewer cameras are advanced camera technologies that can provide video footage of cracks or damage in sewer or water lines. This allows plumbers to identify leaks that may be hidden underground or behind walls.

What should I do if I suspect a leak in my plumbing system?

The first step is to turn off the water supply to prevent further damage. Next, check your water meter to confirm if there is a leak. After that, contact a professional plumbing service like Thomas Plumbing for a thorough leak detection assessment.

What are the signs that I may have a plumbing leak in my home?

There are several signs that may indicate a plumbing leak in your home. You might notice unexplained increases in your water bill, damp spots on walls or ceilings, or the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use. Additionally, if you see water pooling around your foundation or hear dripping sounds, these could be signs of a hidden leak.
