Leak Detection in San Clemente

Water Supply Line Leaks – Water supply lines provide water to your property. They run all the way to the mainline where you’re connected with the city’s water system. If a leak takes place inside of your home, they are usually spotted pretty quickly because there are signs of water or water damage. On the other hand if, you have a leak on the exterior of your home, the leak may go undetected for weeks or even months. Water supply lines are underground. Therefore, depending upon the placement and topography of your property a leak may go unnoticed for weeks or even months. A fair number of people become aware of a water line leak when they receive their water bill and notice a sharp increase in their usage costs. Beyond the impact of a higher water bill cost, water supply lines can even cause sinkholes, and foundation damage to your property.

Main Sewer Line Leaks – The main sewer lines on your property tie into the city’s sewer system. Unlike a water supply line leak, when you have a leak in your main sewer line, it will not cause your water bill to increase. However, a main sewer line has just as much ability to equal or greater damage as a water supply line. Main sewer lines are underground. They are in the same vicinity as tree roots which have the ability to penetrate the lines through the smallest of cracks. When roots penetrate a main sewer line, the line will inevitably clog or even worse collapse. Frequent drain and toilets clogs may be a sign of a compromised main sewer line. Sewage may even start to backup into your property through the sinks, showers, and toilets. There are instances when sewage may even overflow into your home and cause significant damage. If you notice unexplained sewage odors inside or outside your property, it’s time for a leak detection inspection. Furthermore, you may notice bright patches of unusually green grass in your yard. This may be due to sewage leaking into your yard and fertilizing the soil.
