Unfortunately, most plumbing and water leaks happen behind the scenes. Practically invisible to the naked eye, until they start rearing their costly damages. Which is why so many insurance companies and adjusters in the Orlando, Florida and Atlanta, Georgia areas rely on the Leak Doctor to accurately locate and repair the leak in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Water leaks tend to cause the pipes to vibrate, allowing water escapes through a pinhole leak in a pipe. Water spreads between walls, under a concrete slab, behind appliances, and other places water can cause damage.
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.
Our cause and origin reports are electronically created and available online within 24 hours or same day as the service call. These reports will assist you in determining how much damage has been done from a water leak or broken pipe and help develop accurate cost estimates that will reduce the total claim payout.
