A plumbing leak in the middle of a holiday gathering can put a damper on your fun. You can avoid many plumbing leaks and disasters by scheduling a professional inspection before the holidays.
Preventing Frozen Pipes
Even a small leak can result in water that freezes. This can put strain on a pipe that leads to it bursting. A burst pipe can cause extensive damage to your home in minutes. Catching a leak early allows for professional repair so that you can avoid a plumbing catastrophe. The fix may be as simple as replacing a connection or fitting. There may be an upgrade we can make to prevent freezing pipes, such as installing insulation or heat tape.
Avoiding Water Waste
A small leak can quickly add up to gallons of water waste. This raises your water bill and can also impact your energy bill if you’re losing hot water. Also, water waste is bad for the environment. Before your appointment, check your water meter for signs of water waste. If none of the fixtures or appliances in your home are on, but you see the meter moving, this indicates a leak. Sudden increases in your water bill can also point to a problem.
Protecting Against Structural Damage
It doesn’t take much water for wood to rot and structural issues to form. Water damage can also impact indoor air quality, flaring people’s allergies or asthma. If you’re going to be hosting out-of-towners this holiday season, ensure they are staying in a safe location.
Protecting Your Plumbing System
The additional strain your plumbing system experiences during the holidays can be dangerous. If you have a leak present, this strain can be even more damaging. Do a preventive check for leaks to make sure extra showers, toilet flushes, and dishwashing don’t lead to extensive plumbing issues.
Achieving Peace of Mind
You can relax and enjoy the holidays if you know that your plumbing system is free of leaks and damage. We recommend scheduling a routine appointment in early fall. This gives us plenty of time to inspect your system and perform necessary repairs before the holidays are in full swing.
Our professional leak detection services include checking toilets, faucets and fixtures for silent leaks as well as looking underneath and behind sinks and appliances. We will also look in inconspicuous areas like your basement, attic or crawl space.
