How to Detect a Water Leak

Water leaks are often not immediately obvious. Even a small leak can cause substantial damage, as the water can cause wood to rot, drywall to deteriorate, and mould to grow. It is important to recognize the signs of a water leak and get help as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

The indicators of a water leak include:

• Unusually high water bills
• Musty smells
• Discoloration of walls or ceilings
• Peeling paint or wallpaper
• Buckling or warping of floors
• Visible mould, mildew, or water stains
• The sound of running water when the water is turned off

If you suspect a water leak, getting help from a professional who can locate the leak and make the necessary repairs is essential. Our plumbers provide expert leak detection and repair in Toronto for homes and businesses of all sizes.

Putting a Stop to Water Leaks

If you have a leak in a pipe, the first step is to shut off the water supply to the pipe. The shutoff valve is usually located near the fixture or appliance that is leaking. If you are unable to locate the shutoff valve, you can shut off the main water supply to the house.

Once you have shut off the water supply, you should clean up any standing water and try to remove as much of the water as possible. Use a wet/dry vacuum or towels to remove the water. Open windows and doors to help air out the area and reduce the humidity. If you have a fan, you can use it to help dry the area.

Once the area is dry, you should call a plumber to repair the leak as soon as possible. Our company offers 24/7 emergency service. We can locate the leak and make the necessary repairs to prevent further damage.

What Is Infrared Leak Detection?

Infrared leak detection is a non-invasive method of locating a water leak. It uses infrared technology to detect leaks in pipes that are not visible to the naked eye. This technology is especially useful for locating hidden leaks behind walls and under floors. It can also be used to detect leaks in ceilings and roofs.

Infrared leak detection works by detecting the heat emitted by the water as it passes through the pipe. Water passing through a pipe absorbs heat from the surrounding air. This causes the temperature of the water to increase, which can be detected by an infrared camera. The camera can then display an image of the leak, which can be used to locate the leak and make the necessary repairs.
