Seattle Leak Detection

If your water bill has recently increased, you might have a leak in your water line. When there's a break in the line, it will often waste excess water, causing an unexpected increase on your monthly water bill.

Water line breaks can cause puddles of water throughout your lawn, vibrant patches of grass, and a foul odor. If you see these things, it's important to schedule a professional leak detection as soon as possible before extensive damage occurs.

If there is a clog or break in your water line, it will generally affect the water pressure in your home, causing it to decrease. When a clog or break is present, less water is able to move through the pipe, therefore it's not able to make it to your faucets as it normally would.

Hissing and bubbling sounds from pipes often indicate a water line leak. These noises can be warning signs of minor leaks or more serious problems like a burst pipe. You will want to schedule a leak detection as soon as possible to avoid more serious damage.

When a water line develops a leak, the resulting turbulence can stir up sediment and rust from the pipes, causing the water to appear brown, yellow, or even orange. Because water main lines are underground, a lot of potentially toxic and hazardous objects can leak into your water supply, causing you and your family to become ill.

A water line break introduces excess moisture, creating a favorable environment for mold and mildew growth. If problem persists, mold can start growing quickly. Repeated and undetected leaks are a primary cause of moisture build up behind walls, ceilings, and even flooring, leading to deterioration and mold infestation.
