Today’s technology allows an experienced leak technician to locate the leak in a nondestructive manner, saving the property owner hundreds of dollars in exploratory repairs alone. Many service companies do not have the necessary equipment or experience to locate leaks accurately and quickly, hence they resort to destructive methods of searching for the leak, by making holes, cutting walls, and more.
Here are just a few of the many criteria that you should consider for your leak detection company:
Experience
How long have they been in business providing leak detection service? Are they the company that the plumbing professionals would turn to if they have a problem finding it? Do they have the capability to identify whether the problem is plumbing supply, structure or septic? Are they licensed
Referrals
Is the company respected amongst their peers? Does the company get referrals from previous clients such as homeowners, property managers, plumbers or septic professionals for new clients who have leak problems? Do they work with local utility companies to help reduce water loss and do they have ongoing business relationships with similar accounts in your area?
Equipment
Make sure the company has a well rounded selection of equipment to locate the leak quickly with minimum damage to your property. Simply using a stethoscope to the floor is not leak detection today. Do they have electronic detectors, video inspection cameras for sewers and drains, can they find leaks in walls and ceilings, under slabs and underground; do they do pools and irrigation system leaks? Each job type requires different equipment and training.
If you suspect your client has a water leak in their home or business, the Leak Doctor has advanced equipment such as listening devices, scanners, video cameras and technicians to detect any leak. Contact the professionals at the Leak Doctor to pinpoint and fix it with the least amount of damage or disruption.
