FAQs About Leak Detection
What should I do if I think I have a water leak in my home?
If you’re noticing signs of a hidden plumbing leak, like rising water bills or musty smells, the best thing to do is act fast. Turn off your main water supply (if safe), and call a Calgary plumber who offers leak detection like Harper’s. We’ll walk you through the next steps and use our pro tools to pinpoint the leak without tearing up your home.
How much water can a small leak waste?
Even a pinhole leak can waste over 1,000 litres a week. That’s a lot of water and a big bump in your bill.
Do I need a plumber for water leak detection?
Yes. If you’re unsure how to find a water leak in your home, calling a licensed plumber is your safest bet. At Harper’s, we use specialized tools like thermal imaging and pipe cameras to detect hidden water leaks under floors, walls, and concrete. DIY guesses can miss what’s really happening and delay needed repairs.
How Long does leak detection take?
Most in-home leak inspections can take 1-2 hours depending on the home size and complexity.
How do plumbers detect leaks?
At Harper’s, we use specialized tools for plumbing leak detection in Calgary. This includes thermal imaging to spot hidden heat changes, acoustic sensors to listen for water movement behind walls, moisture meters, pipe inspection cameras, and pressure testing to identify drops in flow. It’s all about finding the source with precision and with minimal disruption to your home. Want to learn more about the tools and methods we use? Here’s a deeper look at how plumbers find leaks.
Do you need to tear up my walls?
Nope. Our tools let us locate leaks with minimal disruption. We only open up areas when it’s absolutely necessary and we’ll walk you through it beforehand.
Is leak detection covered by insurance?
Some policies may cover damage caused by leaks but not always the leak detection or repair itself. Installing Flo by Moen may also earn you a discount check with your insurer as a prevention method.
Can Flo by Moen stop leaks?
Yes! It can automatically shut off your water when it detects a major leak, helping you avoid severe damage while you’re away.
