Water Leak Detection

Whether you have a water leak in your home or business property, it is essential to accurately and rapidly detect the source of the leak as well as structural problems from water damage.

An undetected concealed water leak can produce hundreds of dollars in damages even while repairs are underway.

We identify all sources of your water leak using state-of-the-art equipment and a water leak detection process. Infrared Thermal Imaging allows us to quickly and accurately identify water leaks on ceilings, floors, drywall, behind cabinets and moldings and on exterior building structures.

During this leak detection process we perform a comprehensive analysis to assure that all sources and locations of water leaks are accurately identified.

Common Findings with Water Leak Detection

Common locations for water leaks include:

• Bathroom, laundry and kitchen plumbing
• Attic and crawl spaces under roofs
• Cracks in foundations and concrete slabs

Common signs of water leaks include:

• Dark, damp spots on ceilings or walls.
• Stained or cracked walls.
• Soft spots and/or depressed areas in floors.
• Dripping sounds behind walls or other hidden areas.
• Damp, musty odors.
• Visible mold growth on ceilings, walls, baseboards and behind cabinets and appliances.

Four Important Reasons Not to Ignore Water Leaks

1. Costs

Often the first sign of a leak is a larger than usual water bill. An undetected and untreated leak can quickly produce hundreds of dollars in water bills and costly water damage repairs and renovations.

2. Structural Damage

Damage to home foundations, floors, ceilings and exterior building structures may require time consuming repairs and renovations. During this time, families may need to vacate their property for safety reasons.

3. Additional Leaks

Leaks from roofs can affect interior and exterior building structures. Plumbing leaks can increase pressure throughout the system. Even a small leak can result in more leaks from high pressure in other areas.

4. Mold Growth

One of the most devastating consequences of water leaks is the growth of toxic mold and fungus in your living areas. Mold is often concealed behind walls, appliances, and flooring. Numerous health risks are associated with exposure to mold.

5. Handling Your Insurance Claim

When your water leak or flood damage is covered by insurance, we work directly with your insurance company. Our insurance expertise allows us to work in your behalf to get you the maximum claim benefit.

Covered expenses generally include water damage repairs, mold remediation, remodeling and alternate living costs when you must be displaced. Working directly with your insurance company, we take this burden off you.

This gives you freedom to focus on your day-to-day needs and activities without unnecessary stress and worry.
