San Francisco Leak Detection

Reliable Plumbing Contractor Serving San Mateo

Suspecting a hidden water leak? A quick at-home test can help confirm your concerns. Start by recording your water meter reading, then avoid using any water for at least two hours. Afterward, check the meter again—if the reading has changed, there's a strong chance you have a leak.

While this simple method can offer an early indication, it may not catch all issues, especially if the leak is intermittent or located beneath the slab. For a thorough and accurate diagnosis, homeowners in San Mateo and surrounding areas can rely on Nigel Mulgrew Plumbing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Leak Detection

Why should you avoid using chemical drain cleaners?

Avoiding chemical drain cleaners is crucial for both environmental and personal health. These cleaners often contain harsh substances that can erode pipes, leading to expensive repairs. Additionally, they pose significant risks to water quality, contaminating natural water sources and harming aquatic life. Instead, opt for natural alternatives like baking soda and vinegar, which effectively clear clogs without damaging pipes or the environment. Regular maintenance, such as using drain screens and avoiding pouring grease down the sink, can prevent clogs from forming in the first place, promoting a safer and healthier home plumbing system.

Certain chemical cleaners may not thoroughly dissolve the clogs, leading to recurring blockage issues. A plumber's intervention ensures complete removal of any blockages using environmentally safe methods.

What to Do if You Discover a Leak in Your Home

When a leak is discovered, the first course of action is to turn off the emergency shut-off valve to stop the flow of water from the main supply line. This valve is typically located inside a house near where the main water line enters the home. The shut-off valve will either be a gate valve (looks like a lever) or a ball valve (has a round handle). 

In either case, the valve should be moved to the off position before dealing further with the leak. The next step is to soak up any water that has pooled on floors or other accessible areas to prevent property damage. Finally, call a plumber in San Francisco who offers same-day leak detection and repair services. 

Immediate action upon discovering a leak can mitigate further damage. Familiarize yourself with the location and operation of water valves before an emergency arises. Knowing how to act swiftly in these situations ensures that you can minimize potential damage effectively.
