Showers, tubs, sinks, washing machines, dishwashers, and other plumbing appliances all rely on an intricate system of water lines that deliver water to them. Additionally, those appliances rely on pipes that carry wastewater, gray water, and other materials to your main sewer line.
With this in mind, it’s important to act quickly if you have a water leak. Unfortunately, most water leaks are hidden away behind your walls, under your floors, and even under the foundation of your home.
That’s why Dilling Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical offers leak detection in Charlotte. Find out more about this important service below.
A water leak in your home isn’t only inconvenient, but it’s also incredibly dangerous. Mold and mildew need only a little bit of water to start growing. If you have an undetected water leak, there’s a virtually unending supply of water that can lead to a small patch of mold turning into a problem that makes your home unlivable. Biological growth, especially mold, has the potential to create numerous health problems ranging from minor respiratory discomfort to life-threatening illnesses.
In addition to the plumbing system that runs through the walls of your home, most of your electrical system is also hidden away in your walls. You don’t have to be an expert to know that water and electricity don’t mix. A small amount of water can destroy your electrical system, and prolonged exposure to water damage can easily result in a house fire.
Leaking water can also threaten the structural integrity of your home. While prolonged exposure to water can damage the wooden studs that support your home, it can do even more damage to your foundation. If you have water pouring under the foundation of your home, it can erode the dirt, which leads to cracks in the concrete. That’s why we offer slab leak detection in Charlotte.
Finally, some leaks have the potential to contaminate your home’s water source. If you suffer a damaged sewer line, it can result in wastewater or even waste getting into your water. Obviously, this is unsafe for human consumption. However, it’s also unsafe for you to use it when washing dishes, showering, or bathing. That’s why we also offer sewer line leak detection in Charlotte.
It sounds counterintuitive, but the best-case scenario when it comes to a water leak in your home involves water pouring out of a pipe that’s under one of your sinks. In those situations, you can see the water leaking out of your pipes, so you know where the issue lies. Unfortunately, studies show that 75% of homeowners will deal with at least one hidden water leak.
Since you’re unlikely to see water leaking out of your plumbing system, it’s crucial that you know the signs of a hidden water leak. This allows you to schedule leak detection in Charlotte before a small water leak leads to major problems in your home. Those signs include:
