Signs of Leaking Pipes

Signs of Emergency Gas and Sewer Line Leaks
A leaking or broken gas line or sewer line is considered a plumbing emergency. Problems with your gas or sewer line pose a serious health and safety risk. If you notice any signs of a broken or leaking gas line, call 911, then call your gas company. You can then call us for gas line repair or replacement:
- Sulfur or rotten egg smell.
- Hissing or whistling noise near a gas meter or gas line.
- White or dusty cloud near a gas line or gas meter.
- Bubbles in puddles in your yard.
- Damaged, broken, or corroded gas pipe.
- Dead houseplants or dead vegetation around a gas meter or gas line.
- A high gas bill with no change in usage.
- Physical symptoms include nausea, vomiting, flu-like symptoms, headaches and migraines, lightheadedness, fatigue, dizziness, trouble breathing, irritation of the eyes and throat, nosebleeds, lack of appetite, tinnitus, or mood changes.
A broken sewer line can cause health and sanitation issues and lead to a sewer system backup. Call us for sewer line repair or replacement if you notice any of these symptoms:
- Multiple clogged drains in your home.
- A clogged drain and clogged toilet at the same time.
- Dirty water or sewage backing up into your toilet, sink, tub, or shower.
- A sewage or moldy food odor from your drains.
- A gurgling, sucking, or hissing noise from your drains or pipes.
- Marshy pools of water in your yard.
- Unexplained flooding inside or outside of your home.
- Increase in pests and rodents around your home.
- New spots of green grass in your yard.
Explore Our Leaking Pipe Repair Services
We use a plumbing video camera to provide water pipe leak detection services. Attached to one end of a cable is our waterproof plumbing video camera. We can snake it through hundreds of feet of pipes. On the other end is a video monitor that allows us to watch the camera's progression through the pipes in real-time. We can pause, rewind, and record this footage. We will quickly spot leaks, damage, broken pipes, and obstructions. We can then use our pipe relining technique to repair leaks, cracks, and breaks. We insert a special sleeve into the pipe, and as it hardens, it seals the pipe and prevents leaks. If the pipe is too damaged, we will break it apart with hydraulics, and then guide a new pipe into place.
