Leak Trackers: Roto-Rooter's Expert Guide to Finding and Fixing Hidden Water Leaks

Undetected water leaks can cause significant damage to your home and result in high water bills. Roto-Rooter, with its 75 years of experience, is the leading plumbing authority in Rome, Georgia. Our commitment is to equip you with the necessary skills to efficiently locate leaks.

Signs of Hidden Leaks

Prior to examining detection techniques, we should consider the typical signs of hidden leaks:

  • Unexplained increase in water bills

  • Damp spots on walls, ceilings, or floors

  • Mold or mildew growth

  • Reduced water pressure

  • Sound of running water when taps are off

Advanced Leak Detection Techniques

Roto-Rooter employs advanced technology for precise leak detection.

  • Acoustic Leak Detection: Our sensitive devices pick up the sound of water leaking from pipes, even through walls.

  • Thermal Imaging: We use infrared cameras to detect temperature variations indicative of water leaks

  • Pressure Testing: By isolating plumbing sections, we identify leaks via changes in pressure.

  • Video Camera Inspections: Cutting-edge cameras traverse pipes to uncover concealed leaks and damages.

DIY Leak Detection Tips

Although professional assistance is frequently required, here are some measures you can implement:

  1. Check the water meter

  2. Inspect any exposed pipes and fixtures

  3. Search for indications of water damage

  4. Listen for the sound of running water when all taps are turned off

The Importance of Swift Action

Addressing leaks promptly is crucial. Even minor leaks can lead to the loss of thousands of gallons of water annually and significant structural damage. Our 24/7 emergency services ensure that assistance is always at hand the moment a leak is detected.

Preventive Measures

Regular plumbing maintenance is key to preventing leaks. Scheduling annual inspections with a professional service, such as Roto-Rooter, can help detect and resolve issues before they escalate.
