Leak Detection & Repair
When you call Wilson for leak detection, first, we will conduct a general inspection and look for obvious indications of water leaks. When we find the issue, we will track it back to its source. Then we will repair or replace the connector, pipe, or fixture where the leak is originating.
Common reasons for leaks include:
- Aging plumbing connections
- Improper initial plumbing installation
- Water pressure or temperature changes
- Freezing outdoor temperatures
- Stress from vibrations
- Stray electrical currents that cause pipes to rust
Depending on the type of leak, the fix may be a quick patch, a simple valve replacement, or an easy joint tightening. More extensive repairs, such as plumbing line replacement, will be determined upon inspection, and we’ll provide you an estimate.
