Who To Contact For Leak Detection In Houston?

Question: When should I consider leak detection in Houston?
Answer: There are several factors that may indicate there is a leak in your home or yard. If you see discolored drywall in the home where water or sewer pipes run, you may have a leak somewhere. Also consider hiring someone to detect leaks if there are strange smells coming from the pipes under sinks, if you see water pooling in the front yard, or your water pressure is low.
Question: Why is it important to get leak detection for my plumbing?
Answer: With the growing problem of water shortages in the Houston area, it becomes important for homeowners and businesses to conserve water in every way possible. The best solution is to fix leaks — no matter how minor — in homes and commercial buildings. A dripping sink in your basement washroom or leaking sprinkler lines could be wasting gallons of water a day. Having a plumber detect leaks will lessen the likelihood of statewide drought emergencies.

Question: How much will leak detection cost?
Answer: Leak detection in Houston will have varying costs based on where the leak is located and what will be required to repair the pipe.
