From leaky faucets and bathtubs to water pooling in your ceiling or basement, water leaks can cause havoc. They can also cost thousands of dollars in damage if the leak goes undetected for an extended period of time. If you have a leak upstairs, you may see damp patches appearing on your ceiling, or water starts running down your walls. Even if there are no physical signs of a water leak, one of the only ways you may notice is an increase in your water bills. If you notice any of these, it is time to turn off your water and call the professionals at Precision Plumbing Solutions.

Why You Need Water Leak Detection
The problem with water leak detection is that the signs are rarely where the leak actually is. Water runs to the lowest point until it is unable to move anymore, so this is where you first notice the symptoms. However, the problem is often in another higher point within your home.
Not only can this cause damage that cannot be seen, but it can also create mold and mildew that poses health problems to you and your family. These hidden water leaks are widespread and can come from a multitude of problems like pipe corrosion or ground movement that are often found in older homes.
What to Do When You Have a Water Leak
The first thing to do when you suspect you have a water leak is to isolate the main water value supplying water to your house and shut this off. Our highly skilled plumbers and technicians will arrive quickly, often within the same day you call, to look for the symptoms. With our years of experience and specialized water leak detection tools, our skilled plumbers can locate the exact source of the leak in the shortest possible time.
Once the water leak has been detected, our experienced staff will determine what the best option is for repair. If the leak is accessible, our plumbers can quickly fix the problem. If the leak is hidden and behind a wall or under floorboards, the remedy will take a little more to repair.
Plumbing fixtures can be another source where water leak detection is required, although often these are easier to locate and fix. This can be a matter of a simple joint or thread that has worn or come loose and just requires correct sealing. In a worst-case scenario where the problem is with a fitting on a faucet or fixture, you would need to replace the fixture.
