Most plumbing and water leaks cannot be seen with the naked eye! Which is why so many insurance companies and adjusters in the Orlando, Florida and Atlanta, Georgia areas rely on the Leak Doctor to locate and repair the leak in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Sometimes a water leak often causes vibration in the pipes as it escapes through a pin-hole or pipe break in a wall or under the slab, a toilet, refrigerator line or other mechanical failures. Leaks can create different sounds depending on the type of leak; often we hear people say they can hear water running, or they hear a consistent hissing noise. Other times, the sounds are so soft they are not detectable by the human ear at all; the only indication there is a leak is a large water bill.
One of the tools that a professional leak detection company will use is an electronic leak detector that will magnify these subtle sounds of the pipes and trace it back to the source of the actual leak. The sound of the leak may intensify depending upon the pressure within the line.
Although this specialized equipment is crucial, the other important piece of equipment that you should not ignore is a properly trained technician. A trained leak professional can locate a leak within your home with minimum damage to your property. This can reduce your repair bill by hundreds of dollars because of the nondestructive methods used with electronic equipment and a highly trained technician.
The Leak Doctor uses a variety of equipment including electronic sound detectors to locate difficult leaks in a property.
