5 Common Reasons to Schedule Leak Detection in Miami, FL
Sometimes you can go months or even years before noticing you have a leak. Below are six common signs that you might need to schedule leak detection services.
#1: High Water Bills
Most people realize they might have a leak when their water bills start to jump. If, in the middle of winter, when you aren’t watering a garden or dealing with high humidity, you see significant increases in your water bill, it means water is getting out somewhere in your system. It might be somewhere in the back of the toilet, in the walls, or underground.
Wherever it is, our team of local plumbers in Miami, FL, will use top-tier technology to locate the source, checking things like water pressure levels along your pipes until we find the leak.
#2: Loud Pipes
If you hear odd noises, like creaking, groaning, or even dripping inside your walls or elsewhere on your property, it might indicate a leak. This is especially true if no water is being used and the sound persists.
#3: Poor Water Pressure
When your water pressure stops being as strong as it should be, you might have a leak somewhere along the lines. Leaks mean that water that should otherwise make its way to your faucet or shower is dripping somewhere else along the pipes.
#4: Pooling Water
If you have pooling water, you likely have a leak. Pooling water can be outside, near your foundation, in a specific spot on your lawn, or inside, coming up through the carpets. If you have pooling water on your property or inside your home, your leak is likely substantial enough that it might warrant an emergency service.
When you call our dispatcher we will help you determine whether you need emergency plumbing or whether you should schedule a regular appointment, and what you can do in the meantime to help prevent further damage.
#5: Mold
The most obvious sign that you need Miami, FL leak detection is when you have visible mold coming in through your walls or your floors. Visible mold means that a water source has already built up within your home and has now compromised the structural Integrity of that particular area.
Any source of visible mold poses a health risk and can leave your home contaminated. High humidity in Florida can often exacerbate mold problems, so it’s imperative that if you see any mold, you call our licensed plumbers in Miami, FL, right away.
