What’s the first thing most people do when they notice a water leak, call their insurance company. But how do insurance companies find that elusive water leak? Sure the damage may have shown up as a water stain on the ceiling above the bathroom, but are they going to just start cutting into walls to find it. That can end up causing more damage and higher repair bills.
What if it is a higher than average water bill, the meter keeps spinning even after all appliances are off? How will an insurance company find the leak?
That’s where the Leak Doctor’s high tech equipment comes into play
We can pinpoint where the water leak is coming from without causing any damage to the property. This is why so many insurance companies come to us with their water leak claims.
Water damage can be very misleading, sneaking into small crevasses and trapping pockets of saturation. Undetected dampness or moisture will continue to cause destruction.
Often times this type of issue can only be sensed by the sophisticated moisture detection equipment.
The Leak Doctor’s specialized equipment includes
Ultrasound: Even the smallest water leak makes a sound. Our sensitive ultrasound device can hear at a frequency beyond anything we can hear.
Endoscopic Video: This allows us to see inside your plumbing pipes to detect corrosion, blockage, cracks, and leaks. This takes the guest work out of locating the source of the leak.
Thermography: Allows us to identify the smallest temperature differences, similar to colored infrared photography.
The Leak Doctor has partnered with several insurance companies to bring about optimal results. Our reports are electronically created and available online for insurance professionals within 24 hours or same day as the service call. These reports will assist you in determining loss coverage and help develop accurate cost estimates that will reduce total payout.
