Leak Detection

Common signs of water leaks include unexplained high water bills, damp spots, and mold growth. Bulldog Rooter employs state-of-the-art equipment such as thermal imaging and acoustic sensors to accurately detect hidden leaks in walls or underground, providing reliable solutions to protect your property.

No, it’s not advisable. Leak detection equipment is expensive and requires multiple different devices to do a complete job. Additionally, this equipment is not as simple as a point-and-shoot camera; it requires specialized training to operate correctly. It’s quicker, easier, and more cost-effective to hire a professional for leak detection and repairs.

First, we strongly recommend any home or business have leak detection done as a preventive service every few years or so. The plumber may find no leaks. Or they may find small ones, in which case you’ll be glad to have the issue solved early when its small. Second, there are warning signs you may have hidden leaks, and if you notice any of them, it’s time to arrange for leak detection. These signs include:

• High water bills
• A water heater turning on and off at odd times
• A rise in mold, mildew, and humidity in the building
• Patches of discoloration on the wall or ceiling
• Warped floorboards

Bulldog Rooter uses advanced leak detection technology such as thermal imaging and acoustic sensors to pinpoint hidden water leaks. Once detected, our skilled technicians will efficiently repair the leak, preventing further damage and ensuring your home remains dry and safe.

Here are some ways to prevent plumbing leaks:

1. Keep spaces near plumbing pipes clear: Avoid crowding around plumbing pipes to reduce the risk of damage.
2. Replace old pipes: Sometimes replacing old, worn-out pipes is more effective than repeatedly repairing them.
3. Know your water main shutoff valve: Always know the location of your water main shutoff valve in case of an emergency.
4. Regular maintenance: Keep your pipes and plumbing systems well-maintained through regular inspections and timely repairs.

Common causes of gas and water leaks include clogged drain lines, which can lead to leaks or bursts, and corroded pipes that become high-risk for water damage over time.
