Leak Detection & Repair

Houston and Galveston County was noted to have low levels of rainfall resulting in record breaking water leaks in businesses and homes. Houston and Galveston County is currently in the midst of having its water supplement replenished. Every person should make his or her best effort to watch for water leaks in the home. It doesn’t matter if the leak is even a small one. Having small leaks can create an emergency type situation. Small leaks in the Houston and Galveston County area have added up to hundreds and hundreds of gallons of water each year.

Sometimes there are leaks that aren’t even noticeable and then there are some leaks that are oftentimes ignored. Water leaks contribute to potential water shortages in Houston and Galveston County and can also be quite damaging to other parts of the house structure. When a house has structural damage, the home deteriorates faster which can ultimately lead to a collapse causing injury to the occupants.

Water leak detection and searches can be completed periodically by checking the components of the home’s plumbing system. A water leak device can also be installed.

Leak detection involves utilizing technology and knowledge to identify hidden water leaks. There are different types of water leak detection systems that we employ.

This type of system is typically a battery operated, stand-alone device which produces an alarm sound when the moisture system gets wet. A Passive Leak Detection System enables any homeowner to be able to locate the water leak and have the necessary repairs completed. In order to ensure this device runs continuously, the battery should often be checked.

This system sounds an alarm when it finds a water leak and shuts the water off automatically. It often has a flow sensor or moisture sensor to monitor water leaks. These come in two types of systems:

• The Individual Appliance System monitors all leaks from appliances and has an automatic shut off to the water supply when appliance leaks are detected

• A Whole House System monitors all leaks in entire house and automatically shut the home’s main water supply to off when a leak is detected. These types of systems send a signal to the valve by using a wiring connection or radio signal

Water leaks can be detected through sound and sight and this can be a simple task. This is ultimately true for bigger leaks but not for smaller leaks. It can be virtually impossible to detect small leaks without a water leak detection test being performed.
