Historic Plumbing has a team of technicians that know their way around the local pipework. Whether your property is new or old, and especially in the case of historic plumbing, we can provide specialised pipe servicing. This includes leak detection services in Perth, and we offer detection for gas fittings as well as general plumbing. Leak detection services are an essential service to prevent looming emergencies. Once things reach an emergency level in the plumbing, you will have a major inconvenience on your hands. Not only in relation to the loss of normal function of the system, but there are also those expensive bills to consider. Historic Plumbing’s keak detection services will save you the trouble and we can guarantee that. Give us a call and we’ll show you the benefits of this guarantee.
Leaks in your plumbing can develop into a major issue. You can easily imagine the amount of water that will be wasted but the pressure can also affect the structural strength of the entire system. That is why you need to call one of our plumbing experts out immediately to perform a detection test. If you suspect leaky pipework and leave them unattended, you will eventually have to deal with burst pipes and those can be much more complicated to fix. We want to help you recognise the signs of a water leak below but please note that these aren’t always full proof. Sometimes, the water leak will remain unseen and cause hundreds of dollars in damage before they are detected. In the case that the signs are visible, this is what you should look out for:
Leaks in the pipework are ultimately a release of water. The water will get soaked up in the materials around the leak. This is often in the walls or the roof. Spots of discolouration or watermarks are usually a sign that there is water in places it shouldn’t be.
Mould is always a sign of dampness but if it appears in areas where you wouldn’t expect dampness, there may be a leak underfoot. This could also be a sign of a leaky pipe or some other issue of plumbing on the premises. Give us a call and our leak detection services will find the cause of the issue immediately.
Is there a part in the wall that always seems wet to touch, or a spot in the carpet that is always damp? This is usually a sign of a leak, but the leak might not be directly behind the damp area. Water from leaking pipes can travel from anywhere in the pipework and it takes professional leak detection to pinpoint where.
The sound of a dripping faucet even after you’ve turned off all the taps and showers should be a cause for concern. It means that dripping is happening somewhere on the premises even if you can’t see where. The sound of dripping is also more concerning because then it means that a major leak is occurring. Either the size of the leak site is relatively large or the water that has accumulated is a considerable amount. This is the only way that you would be able to hear the leaking.
This is only normal if you have welcomed in new permanent visitors, or you’ve installed fancy waterworks systems on the property. Your water bills shouldn’t be growing in increments that cannot be explained. This is usually a sign that something, somewhere is expending water that cannot be traced. Even though a high-water bill is a sign that you leak, it won’t tell you where a leak is located. This is why we offer comprehensive leak detection services that will bring everything to light.
The older your pipework is, the more susceptible it is to wear and tear and that is what causes leaks. Sometimes, the system can be pressurised by blocked drains and that is usually caused by incorrect usage. Either way, you will need leak detection services to help root out potential emergencies. You can give us a call to perform a leak detection service once or twice a year. Our servicing will not only spot potential leaks but also find any weak spots that need reinforcement. We have state-of-the-art electronic leak detection equipment that is non-invasive but effective. Sometimes, repairing a leak only requires a washer and in more serious leaks, more advanced tools are required. Our technicians are trained to use high-pressure water jets to clean the pipe and remove any blockages. We also have specialised designed drain cameras that will assess the damage without causing additional damage. Once we’ve resolved the leak detection process, we can then get to repairing the damage quick and easy – in most cases, we won’t have to order new parts. Our guys are neat, fast and guarantee to offer repairs and detection that are reliable. Ignoring the potential of leaks is sure to cost you more over time than investing in our servicing.
