Common Causes of Leaking Pipes

Pipes are nearly everywhere in your home but are particularly common wherever you use water the most. Many appliances experience leaks, both visible and hidden. We offer toilet repairs, bathtub and shower services, faucet repairs, garbage disposal replacements, washing machine repairs, and sprinkler system services to help stop leaks in their tracks.

When these appliances leak, you put your home at risk for water damage, mold, or burst pipes; prompt leak detection and repair are essential to keep your home safe.

Several factors impact your pipes and should motivate you to call for water leak detection and repairs, including:

Water Leak Detection

Leaks happen wherever your pipes are, which can, unfortunately, be inside your walls or underneath concrete slabs. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Albany, we use three main leak detection methods to help pinpoint any hidden risks and reduce the damage caused to your property by hunting for the leak. Our methods include:

1. Acoustic Listening Equipment: By amplifying the sound of leaks, this technology helps our plumbers more accurately estimate the leak’s location.
2. Soil Probes: If we suspect a leak in your yard, soil probes allow us to listen for pressurized water leaking into the dirt around sewer lines and water mains.
3. Video Inspection Equipment: We use camera detection in a wide range of our services. For leak detection, we can accurately locate problems by measuring the length of our camera line inside your pipes.

Slab Leak Detection & Repair

Some of the most challenging leaks occur beneath your home’s concrete slab or basement floor. Unfortunately, the signs of a slab leak aren’t always obvious, but these clues may save you:

• Climbing water bills
• Musty, mildew smells in your basement
• Damp carpet, concrete, or flooring
• Visible damage to your foundation
• Sound of running water when faucets and toilets aren’t being used
• Mold or water damage on your lower drywall

Contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Albany as soon as possible if you suspect a slab leak — any delay can lead to severe water damage. Our leak detection services will quickly determine the presence of a leak, locate it, and complete repairs through the smallest possible opening in your slab. When we're finished, we’ll also clean and restore your slab to its original condition.
