The Unseen Threat: Hidden Water Leaks
While an obvious water leak can cause immediate concern, hidden leaks silently wreak havoc within the confines of your walls, ceilings, or floors, causing gradual yet substantial damage over time. In this context, silence certainly isn’t golden. Unmasking these hidden leaks and repairing them promptly is crucial to maintaining a safe, dry, and structurally sound property.
The Culprits of Hidden Leaks
Aging Infrastructure
As plumbing systems age, they become susceptible to wear and tear, which may lead to leaks.
Environmental Factors
Extremes in temperature can cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to potential cracks and leaks. Furthermore, tree roots can infiltrate pipes, causing breakages.
Poor Construction
Substandard materials or improperly installed plumbing can increase the likelihood of hidden leaks.
Detecting the Silent Culprit
Detecting hidden leaks is a task for professionals. At San Mateo Restoration, our team employs a range of cutting-edge techniques:
- Acoustic Leak Detection: This involves using audio technology to listen for the sound of water escaping from pipes.
- Thermal Imaging: We utilize thermal cameras to detect changes in temperature caused by hidden leaks.
- Video Pipe Inspection: Special cameras allow us to visually inspect pipes for hidden leaks.
Repairing the Unseen: Our Approach to Leak Repair
Once the hidden leak has been located, the next step is to repair the problem. Our professional team uses various repair techniques, depending on the location and severity of the leak:
- Pipe Replacement: In cases of severe damage, we replace the affected section of the pipe.
- Pipe Relining: Here, we insert a new liner into the existing pipe, essentially creating a new pipe within the old one.
- Spot Repairs: For small leaks, a spot repair may be sufficient.
