Methods of Detection
At Magic Plumbing we use three methods to detect water leaks in your home. The methods are:
- METER DETECTION – As one of the less invasive methods, we are able to test the water pressure in your pipes and compare it to a healthy pipe. This allows us to determine if there is a leak, and where the leak is located.
- INFRARED TECHNOLOGY – This is the most modern method of leak detection. It involves using an infrared camera to take pictures of the pipes at different angles to detect the clog.
- DIG AND DRILL – This method is the most invasive option, but is still quite effective. It involves digging into your pipes or walls to detect the leak.
Tips and Prevention
Try some of these tips to prevent any future water leaks from occurring:
- Insulate pipes that could be exposed to cold temperatures.
- Remove outside hoses during colder months.
- Keep your pipes in good condition by not using them for alternative reasons, such as a place to hang your clothes.
- Inspect your pipes often for small leaks and get them repaired immediately.
