Leak Detection & Leak Repair in Phoenix and Surrounding Areas

Water leaks or burst pipes happen unexpectedly and can impact hot and cold water lines, drain lines, water mains, and fixtures. Homeowners who notice unusual watermarks or water coming out of a line anywhere on the property need to locate and fix the leak before it causes significant damage.

Leak detection services are the most accurate way of finding water leaks. Professional plumbers use sensitive equipment, including electro-acoustic detectors with microphones, sensor rods, tracer gas, and other tools to perform the task. In most cases, advanced equipment means lawn ripping, tearing down walls, and floorboard prying are no longer necessary. Additionally, this advanced equipment can deliver a 90% accuracy rate and help resolve the issues quickly and efficiently.

Early leak detection is crucial because continued leaks can cause rotted wood and structural, carpet, and electrical damage. The destructive nature of hidden leaks can also endanger the lives of the residents. Therefore, less significant damage may occur if the leak is detected and quickly repaired.

Simba Plumbing offers leak detection services for hot water lines, cold water lines, water mains, drain lines, and plumbing fixtures.

Signs You Have a Leak

Homeowners who notice any of the following signs may have a water leak in the home or building:

  • Higher water bills

    Unexplained increases in the water bill are often indicative of water leaks. Minor leaks—a few drops per minute—add up fast and can waste thousands of water gallons each year, leading to a significant water bill increase.

  • Lower water pressure

    Water leaks are one possible reason for reduced water pressure. Leaks mean that less water travels through the pipes to where the homeowners need them, resulting in lower water pressure. A sudden decrease in water pressure when only one fixture is in use may indicate a leak.

  • Mildew build-up

    Mold and mildew appear in damp places. For example, a leak may result in mold and mildew on the walls near the pipe.

  • Ceiling stains

    Leaks can cause dark spots and similar discoloration on the ceilings. These spots appear after a leak has been present for a while, and it’s critical to address this issue quickly.

  • Sagging ceiling

    Leaky pipes and roofs often result in sagging ceilings. This sign indicates that the ceiling is in danger of collapse and should be attended to immediately.

  • Other leak signs include blistering paint, damaged flooring, weird plumbing noises, or rusty pipes.
