Common symptoms that you may encounter include:


- VISUAL LEAKS: Most obvious of course are leaks when you can see the source of the issue.  However many leaks are underground, beneath floors or in walls, so often the symptoms you encounter may include wet patches, puddles or even flooded areas of the home or landscaping.  Our state-of-art technology can locate the origin of these leaks, and we can help with both the repair and restoration.

- AUDIBLE LEAKS: Some leaks can't been seen, but they can be heard.  If you hear an unusual sound from your pipes, it may be a leak under pressure causing it.  Interestingly, although it requires special equipment, most leaks produce a sound which can help locate them.  In many cases the sound is infrasonic (beneath the threshold for human hearing), which is why special equipment is necessary to detect it.

- HIGH WATER BILLS: A very common cause for concern are sudden high water bills caused by an undiagnosed leak.  For more information on how to find out if there is a hidden leak causing high water bills, read this page here.

- WARM PATCHES: If there is a warm patch on a concrete floor such as a garage, this is a common sign of a sub-floor leak.  Schuelke Leak Detection offers a $99 special on warm patch leak detection, which is FREE when we do the repair.

- UNUSUAL SMELLS OR FLOOR, CEILING OR WALL DISCOLORATION: If you start to detect unusual smells (such as dampness, or in other cases sewer smells) then that can be evidence of a leak underneath a floor covering, floorboard or drywall.  Likewise patches of discoloration on floors, ceiling and walls can sometimes indicate an associated leak.

 

If you suspect a leak in your home, it's important to have the issue at least diagnosed before it causes further damage.  Undetected leaks are capable of causing serious issues with the structural integrity of your home.  So for fast, same day service, or for help with any of your leak questions or issues, call and speak with the specialists at Schuelke Leak Detection today.
