We use our three-step process to resolve slab leaks. Our three-step involves detecting, locating, and repairing the slab leak. Here is a look at how we detect, find, and fix slab leaks:
We will add water pressure gauge to your plumbing system to test your water pressure. We will check each room with faucets and fixtures to ensure they are not running. We will close the angle stop or replace all leaky faucets in your home. We will also turn off your water system’s main valve. Finally, we will locate the actual piping causing the problem. Doing so will help us locate the source of the water leak.
We will connect the transmitter to the location of the leaky pipe and trace the area we suspect the leak is coming from. We will use the pipe locator to pick up the signal the pipe is sending out and then mark the area with a marker tape. This method will help us uncover the piping underneath the area where we think we find the source of the leak.
We will use the electronic leak detection technology, connecting it to a microphone, to get reading levels. We will move the device back and forth along the area we have marked. This will give us reading levels with high reading levels indicating the exact location of the leak.
In the event we are unable to find the leak’s exact location, we will add CO2 gas and move it through your plumbing system to get an accurate reading. The CO2 gas increases the sound level by ten times. Once we have found the leak’s exact location, we will tell you about the different options to repair it and which one we recommend you go with.
