Nothing is more frightening to a homeowner than finding water dripping from the ceiling, running down the wall, or rising up from a cement floor. As a homeowner, you want to find the leak as quickly as possible to minimize home damage and to keep your utility costs low by not having your water run constantly. Yet finding the leak can be difficult.
Electronic Leak Detection Providing Immense Benefits
Plumbers in Los Angeles can provide electronic leak detection services using different equipment depending on where the leak may be located and the type of in-line pipe or sewer system. These devices provide a range of test results based on their particular applications.
Video camera electronic devices provide a visual view from inside the pipe that allows the plumber to notice breaks in the sewer system as well as obstructions. Other devices, such as hydrostatic pressure tests, determine leaks by attaching an inflatable ball and filling the line with water. If the ball moves, it indicates a leak. Electronic listening devices allow the plumber to amplify sounds from the water pipe to listen for the sound of a leak.
These electronic devices can save a homeowner both time and money when determining where a leak is located. You don’t have to tear down walls, dig under cement slabs or dig up the yard to visually inspect the pipe to find the exact location of the leak. These devices are more accurate, as plumbers in Los Angeles don’t have to make educated guesses as they can get the right equipment quickly to perform the repair work.
