How are insurance companies in Central Florida and Atlanta, Georgia finding water and plumbing leaks from corrosion? No matter how old the building is, the pipes can succumb to corrosion.
While most corrosion happens from the inside out, home and business owners have to remain vigilant to the warning signs. Over time, pipes break down and can go unnoticed for an extended period of time.
The Leak Doctor has the latest technology to locate even the smallest water intrusion without causing destruction. Our trained technicians work with insurance to identify the cause of origin and cost effective solutions.
What types of signs is your client responsible for staying alert to?
High water bills
If they notice a water bill is higher than usual or slowly rising every month, it is important to investigate the problem. Repairing the pipe can end up saving you a ton of money later.
Other indications of a water leak include, discolored water, slow draining pipes, the sound of water running when the appliances and faucets are off, a musty or mildew smell, low water pressure, wet flooring, spots on the walls or ceiling, sewage backing up, and wet areas in the yard.
Keep an eye on your water usage
On average a family of four should use less than 12,000 gallons of water a month, that’s about 3,000 per person, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. If your family is using more than this, there may be a serious leak in your plumbing.
Corroded Pipes
Pipes don’t last forever, over time they break down and corrode. Often times this occurs in obscure places such as under floors, between walls or in the pipes in the ceiling, this is also where the most damage can occur. An inspection by a professional leak detection service is worth the investment.
